In the paper, the problem of designing of mechatronic discrete systems for vibration control has been investigated and generalized. As the design method, the synthesis has been used. Main focus of the paper is given to formalization of the mechatronic structures that contains elements with negative values on different stages of the synthesis process. The study is done based on different distributions methods of dynamical characteristics, dimensionless transformation and retransformation algorithm, simultaneously with verification of possible configurations of connections of piezostack actuators with external electric networks. As the result, various classifications of mechatronic discrete systems and general design constrains have been presented and discussed.
