In this work, a periodic 4× 4 lay-out of resistive inductive (RL) shunted piezoelectric
transducer (PZT) patches is designed and applied to achieve broadband vibration reduction …

Electric vibration absorbers made of distributed piezoelectric devices for the control of beam
vibrations are studied. The absorbers are obtained by interconnecting an array of …

Periodic arrays of piezoelectric patches connected by enhanced resonant shunting circuits
are attached to a slender beam to control the propagation of vibration. Numerical models …

Recently, the concept of Piezo-ElectroMechanical (PEM) structural members has been
developed by Alessandroni et al.(Int. J. Solids Structures 39 (20)(2002) 5279) and Andreaus …

In this paper we solve the synthesis problem of finding a completely passive electric circuit
analog to a vibrating beam. The synthesis problem is of interest when one wants to suppress …

A dynamic passive controller for thin plate vibrations is here presented. The vibrations
damping is obtained by uniformly distributing an array of piezoelectric elements on the host …

We study the homogenization of a double porosity diffusion problem in a thin highly
heterogeneous composite medium formed by two materials separated by an imperfect …

We study a scalar problem in thin periodic composite media formed by two materials, a
classical one and a metamaterial (also known as negative material). By applying T-coercivity …

Networked materials and micro-architectured systems gain increasingly importance in multi-
scale physics and engineering sciences. Typically, computational intractable microscopic …

The aim of this paper was to obtain a new model for the bending-stretching of an anisotropic
heterogeneous linearly piezoelectric cantilever rod when the electric potential is applied on …
