Background 4/7 - Mechanical and piezoelectric dampers

 

 

The following mechanical ...

... and electrical lumped damping devices ...

are governed by the same equations. Unfortunately the needed inductance for obtaining maximum power transfer is not technically feasible using lossless components. How we propose to solve this drawback
