contents Piezoelectric transducers applied on or integrated in structures, combined with appropriate circuits have been extensively investigated as a smart approach to the mitigation of resonant vibrations with high relative amplitudes. \cmt{A resonant shunt circuit consisting of the capacitive piezoelectric transducer and an inductance can be configured to target specific eigenmodes of a structure, if appropriately placed and tuned. Their effect is expressed in terms of mechanical impedance of the host structure, allowing for the exchange of energy between the mechanical and electrical domain, to dramatically affect the dynamic response of the structure. By re-framing the function of resonant shunted piezoelectric transducers as frequency dependent variable stiffness elements, this paper investigates their capability to realize a frequency dependent structural mechanical connectivity, where the load path within a lattice structure can be interrupted at will for specific frequencies by tunable null-stiffness components. Here, we offer the numerical and experimental verification of this idea, by demonstrating the ability to significantly affect the dynamic response of a unit cell of an adaptive lattice metamaterial, even away from a structural resonance. In the latter case, the null-stiffness shunt leads to an additional resonance peak in the truss' dynamic response.} Its realization as additively manufactured component points to the feasibility of such structures in real life.
