The example used is a smart cantilever plate structure containing a viscoelastic material (VEM) layer sandwiched between a piezoelectric constrained layer and the host vibrating plate. Comparisons are made between active constrained layer and active damping only and based on the resonance frequency amplitudes of the electrical admittance numerically evaluated at the surface of the piezoelectric model of the vibrating structures.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/129-134International Conference on Computer, Information and Systems Sciences Providakis Konstantinos Προβιδακης Κωνσταντινος Stavroulaki Maria Σταυρουλακη Μαρια Voutetaki Maria-Styliani Βουτετακη Μαρια-Στυλιανη P.
