A comparison between actively-controlled piezoelectric (PZT) material with positive position feedback (PPF) and a parallel resistor-inductor shunt circuit technique is provided. This study focuses on the performance of each technique at reducing structural vibration on a test plate for both narrowband and broadband frequency reductions. The comparison between the shunted and active PZT damping techniques used in this study shows that active control with positive position feedback was more effective at controlling vibrations of a test plate. The active PZT method was able to add damping to each of the modes targeted in the frequency range of interest. In addition, active control with positive position feedback was able to achieve this level of control authority with a single PZT patch located in the center of the test plate. Conversely, shunted PZTs used three PZT actuators to reduce the test plate vibrations. The results show that actively-controlled PZTs can provide much more damping per square area of PZT than shunted PZTs, by as much as four times more.
