This paper is concerned with application of piezoelements with a step change of material properties occurring in the element's plane. Each part of an element may be controlled independently. Analytical models for different shape and location of the inner part of a two-part piezoactuator are developed. Finally, results of numerical simulations concerning effectiveness in vibration reduction of piezoactuators constructed this way are presented.
