This paper presents numerical analysis of efficiency of different shapes and material composition of piezoelectric actuators used for vibration reduction. Four numerical models representing a plate clamped on all sides with two attached piezoelectric elements were created. For each model, one element had the same shape and composition and was used for plate excitation, and the other one, used for vibration reduction, had different shape and possibly material composition and could be of square or circular shape with either homogeneous or two-part material composition. Two modes were taken into account: the first mode and the fifth mode. Analysis of results was performed with ANSYS software.
