Abstract
A pair of interdigital electrode (IDE) piezoceramics is used to simultaneously suppress multimode vibrations of a cantilevered beam. This is achieved by connecting the IDE piezoceramics in parallel to a negative capacitive shunt circuit. The governing equations of motion of an IDE piezo/beam system and associated boundary conditions are derived using the Hamilton principle. The obtained mathematical model is validated experimentally Attenuations ranging between 5 and 20 dB are obtained for all the vibration modes over the frequency range of 0-3000 Hz. The presented theoretical and experimental techniques provide invaluable tools for designing simple and effective passive vibration dampers for structures with closely packed modes.
