In this study, vibration control of rectangular plates with piezoelectric (PZT) structures under different loading conditions is considered. By using different materials on the plate, the effect of material properties on vibration control and its connection with piezoelectric structures are investigated. The PZT patches are placed in the certain areas of the plate. The strains are greatest in these regions, and these strains are derived from the modes and natural frequencies of the plate. The optimum thicknesses of these patches are determined from the material and geometric properties of the plate and the material properties of the piezoelectric patches. It is found that the thickness of the piezoelectric patches must change as the material of the plate changes. It is observed that the applied voltage values vary according to the location of the patches. In addition, it has been seen that the damping parameter has different effects on the response of the system under different loads.
