Enhanced Piezoelectric Shunt Design


 Piezo ceramic patches connected to electronic shunt circuits have formed successful vibration reduction devices. Here a new shunt circuit design with additional capacitors is presented. One drawback of existing electronic shunt circuits is the large inductance required when suppressing low frequency vibration. Also, the large internal resistance associated with this high inductance value exceeds the optimal design resistance needed for vibration suppression. To solve these problems, a modified and improved piezoelectric shunt circuit is designed by connecting additional capacitors in parallel. This design is experimentally demonstrated for a desired tuned mode of an aluminum beam. The results indicate that improved electronic passive damping can significantly reduce the structural vibration response with half of the inductance previously required.
