Optimum Vibration Absorbers for Linear Damped Systems
Abstract
This paper presents computational graphs that determine the optimal linear vibration absorber for linear damped primary systems. Considered as independent parameters are the main system damping ratio and the mass ratio examined over the range 0 to 0.50 and 0.01 to 0.40, respectively. The remaining nondimensional parameters were optimized using numerical methods based on minimum-maximum amplitude criteria. With independent parameters specified the computational graphs can be used to find the response amplitudes as well as the optimal absorber characteristics. This procedure is illustrated in a design example. A qualitative discussion of the sensitivity to parameter errors is presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
