This paper deals with the use of matrix inequalities for the aim of multi-modal piezoelectric shunt damping. The paper shows that the shunt impedance can be seen as a controller in a state space model of the electro-mechanical system; this makes it possible to use the mentioned approach to find the layout of the impedance for different kinds of...

This paper presents a new method for scaling mode shapes obtained by means of operational modal analysis. The method is capable of scaling mode shapes on any structure, also structures with closely coupled modes, and the method can be used in the presence of ambient vibration from traffic or wind loads, etc. Harmonic excitation can be...
