This article presents a strategy for enhancing the performance of the synchronized switch damping on inductor technique used for the semiactive control of structural vibrations. This enhancement is achieved by adding a negative capacitance to the resonant circuit that dissipates the energy converted by a piezoelectric transducer embedded in the structure. A unidimensional spring-mass system shunted synchronously to a resonant circuit is studied analytically, and the main parameters governing the performances of the system are highlighted. Experimental results obtained with a synthetic negative capacitance demonstrate the enhancement of the performance of synchronized switch damping on inductor and confirm the parametric dependencies identified analytically.
