30 RESEARCH UNIVERSIDADE DE FEDERAL DE UBERLÂNDIA FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA MECÂNICA (UFU) Laboratório de Mecânica de Estruturas Prof. José Eduardo Tannús Reis Semi-active vibration control using Smart Spring Mechanism SSM is a patented concept that uses an indirect piezoelectric (PZT) stack actuation to change the stiffness and damping characteristics of the rotating machine to attenuate high vibration amplitudes. If the friction between the PZT stack and the host structure is disregarded the SSM behavior can be represented by two distinctly dynamic systems, according to the PZT stack status: 1. PZT turned off: the equivalent SSM stiffness is given by k ps + k as ; 2. PZT turned on: the active spring is unattached leading the SSM to operate only through the primary spring k ps. Note that if the friction is considered, the SSM becomes able to vary combinations of stiffness and damping at a particular location of the rotor.
