In this mean the authors have both modelled and experimented small scale devices, usable in vibration damping and control. The theoretical models use the spring(s)-damper(s)-mass model. The results of simulations were compared whit experiments made using Ni-Ti alloys with different shapes. The used theoretical model present sufficient accuracy for practical issues. The authors concluded that: regarding the device¡¯s shapes the best results were obtained for semi-cylindrical elements; the mass of the stiff plate and equipment placed on it has also an important role in the damping system. %K isolated workplace %K shape memory alloys %K dampers %U http://anale-ing.uem.ro/2008/2008_a23_bis.pdf
