A system that has the capability to make instantaneous changes in its mass, stiffness, or damping may be termed a state-switchable dynamical system. Such a system will display different dynamical responses dependent upon its current state. For example, state-switchable stiffness may be practically obtained through the control of the termination impedance of piezoelectric stiffness elements. If such a switchable stiffness element is incorporated as part of the spring element of a vibration absorber, the change in stiffness causes a change in the resonance frequencies of the system, thereby instantaneously “retuning” the state-switched absorber to a new frequency. This paper briefly develops the fundamental analysis tools for a Single-Degree-of-Freedom state-switchable device, and then considers the application of such a device for the purpose of vibration control in a 2-DOF system. Simulation results indicate that state-switched vibration absorbers may be advantageous over classical passive tuned vibration absorbers under certain conditions.
