What are dynamic vibration absorbers?

A machine or a system may experience excessive

vibration if it undergoes resonance. In such cases the vibration of machine or system can be reduced by using

a vibration absorber.
Dynamic Vibration Absorbers (DVA) are based on the concept of attaching a secondary mass to a primary vibrating system such that the secondary mass dissipates the energy and thus reduce the amplitude of vibration of the primary system.

Why damping in the absorber ?
Undamped vibration absorber introduces two new peaks thus the machine experiences large amplitudes as it passes through the first peak during the start up and stopping. Undamped absorber has poor bandwidth. Small damping extends bandwidth. But, ruins complete absorption of motion. Becomes a design problem to pick the most favorable , , .(optimum ratio of natural frequency () and optimum damping () )

CONCLUSION

Under the optimum tuning condition of the absorbers, it is proved analytically that the proposed absorber provide a larger suppression of resonant vibration amplitude of the primary system excited by ground motion than the traditional absorber.

The comparison revealed that though model B requires a larger amount of damping than model A, the resonant vibration amplitude under the optimized condition of model B is always less than that of model A. It provides an alternative design for the traditional damped dynamic vibration absorber.
