Modal Vibration Control Using Cantilever-Beam and Mass-Spring Absorbers

Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis and synthesis of two passive and active vibration absorbers connected to a mechanical system to attenuate harmonic vibrations with multiple frequency components. The primary system is coupled to a mass-spring absorber and also to a cantilever beam absorber. The overall mechanical system is modeled through modal identification techniques, whose parameters are used for the passive designs. Some numerical and experimental results are provided
