The broadband control of compliance coefficient S₃₃ of a hard ceramic has direct applications in active vibration control. A collocated smart system consisting of ceramic sensor, actuator and a feedback amplifier is developed with 3.5 kHz bandwidth of compliance control without using filter in the feedback circuit. It is found that modified lead titanate with very low planar coupling coefficient k_p is most suited as a sensor material for this type of system. The require ments of the feedback amplifier for such a system are discussed and an amplifier design presented. The bandwidth of compliance control is experimentally determined by bench tests using a B and K shaker.
