A New Treatment of the Tuned Absorber with Damping

  • D.C. Johnson (a1)
Summary

The design of the damped tuned vibration absorber, which has previously been treated algebraically, is studied by the use of a three-dimensional admittance diagram. The advantages of this method are that the basic principles can be more easily understood and that it is not necessary to simplify the vibrating system so much. The results obtained by the use of the method show that under some conditions the algebraic treatment does not give the optimum tuning, but that the differences in performance of dampers which have been designed by the two methods will not be large. It is shown how the method may be extended to more complex problems.
