Piezoelectric switching networks for vibration damping offer advantages compared to classical inductance-resistance circuits. However, the strong nonlinearity of these networks must be accounted for in the modeling. Especially for the calculation of frequency response functions a linear replacement system can drastically reduce the computational effort. In this paper the synchronized switch damping on inductor (SSDI)-circuit is substituted by an equivalent linear circuit, which can be used to obtain the frequency response. Measurements on a clamped beam with attached piezoceramics are conducted to validate the results.
