In the paper, the problem of negative resistance has been studied. Considered systems are limited to mechatronic discrete structures that contains mechanical part and piezoelectric actuator in form of stack, connected to external electric network that include the resistance elements which can have and receive negative values. The study have been done based on examples of branched structures, received as a result of solving the reverse task, and is aimed for parameters, limits and constrains evaluation. The paper extends possible applications of piezostack actuators and applied configurations that utilize negative resistance for vibration control.
