Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce a systematic method of designing a vibration absorber that affects vibration attenuation at multiple frequencies. This vibration absorber is a nonprismatic ...

Abstract: An impedance-based system modeling technique has been developed to determine the output forces of multiple piezoelectric (PZT) patch actuators on an active structure to produce a known vibration ...

Abstract: A novel method for shifting the natural frequencies of a structure to specific values using structural patches is introduced. When a host structure is bonded with multiple structural patches, ...
