Abstract: In general, it is not possible to obtain total motion absorption of a certain degree of freedom in a harmonically excited damped system by passive control. This paper presents a method of ...

Abstract: The motion of a particular degree-of-freedom in a harmonically excited conservative system can be vanished by attaching an appropriate dynamic absorber to it. It is shown here that under certain ...

Abstract: Control of the vibrating structures is desirable in various engineering applications for preventing fatigue and failure. It can be achieved by passive means using dynamic absorbers or by active ...
