Advanced materials such as carbon fiber, composite materials et al. are more and more used in modern industry. They make the structures lighter and stiffer. However, they bring vibration problems. Researchers studied numerous methods to eliminate the undesirable vibrations. These treatments are expected to be a compact, light, intellectual and modular system. Recently, a nonlinear technique which is known as Synchronized Switch Damping (SSD) technique was proposed. These techniques synchronously switched when structure got to its displacement extremes that leading to a nonlinear voltage on the piezoelectric elements. This resulting voltage showed a time lag with the piezoelectric strain thus causing energy dissipation. Based on the developed SSD techniques, a new synchronized switch damping e.g. Synchronized Switch Damping with Energy Transfer (SSDET) was proposed in this document. This method damped the vibration by using the energy from other vibrating form. The objectives of the work reported in this document were threefold. The first one consisted of introduction of SSDET principle and developing its control law. This part aimed at establishing the mathematical model and verifying the proposed method by mathematical tools. Then, the experimental validations were carried out. Three experiments with different configurations demonstrated that SSDET can be implemented not only between structures but also vibrating modes in one structure. A SSDET scheme with multi-patches was also investigated for improving the damping. Finally, a bidirectional SSDET concept was introduced based on the original SSDET technique. This technique be regarded as a multimode control SSDET. Since it privileged the target vibration while keeps a decent control effect on the source vibration.
