Abstract: An identification procedure of the active vibration damping system with the piezo-elements glued to the structure is presented in the paper. Such identification can be carried out in analytical way (Guyan reduction) by using of low-band pass amplifiers. First, we have identified the open loop system in the frequency domain by using experimental setup with real amplifier and beam equipped in piezo-strips working as actuators and sensor, respectively. For the frequency range 1 Hz to 400 Hz we have obtained Bode plots with helped of Dynamic Signal Analyzer which were base to further calculations. Second, mathematical model have been adjusted to the experimental results by the least square sum approach and also by the consideration of a system which was modeled by finite elements. A three first resonance frequencies and three first anti-resonance frequencies have obtained.

Abstract: An active vibration damping system with the use of piezoelements fixed to the structure is presented in the paper. The optimal location of the piezo-stripes on the structure is calculated for given cost functions. Coefficient correlations between control forces, strains, mode shapes, frequency changes, modal masses and modal stiffness are analyzed in order to find simpler method for calculation of the quasi-optimal localization of piezo-sensors and piezo-actuators. Reduced model of the open-loop system was identified and the simulations were carried out in order to find the best controller to reduce the amplitude of vibrations. The correctness of the selection of the controller was verified and investigated experimentally.
