Abstract:The primary goal of this study is to investigate the dynamics of a new class of adaptive Tuned Vibration Absorber (TVA): A variable effective inertia absorber. In particular, the accuracy of linearization of the dynamic equations, the effect of the moving mass on the dynamics of the absorber, and steady state vibration of the primary system are investigated. It is shown that the linearized model is accurate. Two simulations using the nonlinear model are reported. These simulations show effectiveness of the abs… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
