β¦ Synopsis
Tunable vibration absorbers are used to control vibration due to time-varying harmonic disturbances. Either vibration which is local to the neutralizer, or global vibration of the host structure can be chosen as the quantity to be suppressed. In this paper, the latter is the subject of investigation, but using multiple neutralizers rather than a single device. It is shown that by positioning these devices carefully, the global vibration of a structure (as characterized by its kinetic energy) can be effectively reduced at each single frequency in the frequency range of interest, and is comparable to the performance of active control. A methodology on how to correctly position the devices, an on how to determine their optimum mass is suggested.

This paper examines multiple tuned mass dampers (TMD's) with natural frequencies distributed over a frequency range. An integral form for the impedance is developed by asymptotic techniques. The result is used to analyze the vibration control capabilities of multiple TMD's for structures subjected t
Vibrations of machines and structures vanish perfectly at a certain frequency when they have a vibration absorber without damping. But if forced frequencies vary from the anti-resonance frequency, their vibration amplitudes increase signi"cantly. Then the absorber without damping cannot be applied t
In many cases slender structures are lightly damped, a condition described as &lively', and can undergo large vibrations when subjected to tra$c or environmental forcing. One measure against above vibrations is the application of tuned vibration control facilities in structures. The "bre members wit
