This study investigates vibration damping of a clamped-free beam under harmonic excitations in the steady state. The damping control strategy utilises the piezoelectric properties of PZT materials and a shunt circuit consisting of series RLC elements in parallel configuration. The analysis was made for the first mode frequency and, at the same time, for the four resonance frequencies.}, type={Article}, title={FEM analysis of beam vibrations control using piezoelectric transducers and a RLC shunt circuit}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/124953/PDF/3_MECHANICAL_53_2006_1_Filipek_FEM.pdf}, keywords={piezoelectric actuators, shunt damping, finite element analysis}, }
