The procedure of improving the structures damping performance was proposed by interconnecting two structures with a connecting member consisting of a spring and a damper. The modal equations of the "rst mode of both framed structures interconnected were shown using equations for the motion of a two-

โฆ Synopsis
This paper describes the design of an active vibration neutraliser. The aim of the active element in the neutraliser is to reduce the internal damping of the device and thus make it more eective. Six dierent control conยฎgurations are considered and the input mechanical impedance of each conยฎguration is calculated. This is used to assess the ecacy of each conยฎguration. To study the behaviour of an active neutraliser a beam-like neutraliser is designed and built with piezoceramic patches providing the active element. An analytical model of this device is presented. Simulations and experimental results show that for two control conยฎgurations the amplitude of a mass-like structure with the neutraliser attached remains ยฎnite at a resonance of the composite system even when damping is entirely removed from the neutraliser, by the control system.
