Paper Abstract
A negative capacitance circuit has been designed to change the effective natural frequency of a
fixed-free piezoelectric strip attached to a non piezoelectric substrate. Experiments have
investigated the extent to which resonances can be shifted using a redesigned negative
capacitance circuit. The design replaces the resistive element in the feedback loop with a
capacitor, effectively causing the behavior of the circuit to become frequency independent. A
PVDF film was mechanically excited and the voltage generated from the piezoelectric effect fed
to the circuit. This paper summarizes the theoretical model and describes ongoing experimental
work.
