    Dynamic Vibration Absorber

    Dynamic vibration absorbers are devices that reduce vibration amplitudes of a primary system, especially near resonant frequencies. There are three main types: vibration neutralizers use a secondary mass connected via a spring; auxiliary mass dampers use a damper/dashpot; and dynamic vibration absorbers use both a spring and damper. They are commonly used in tall structures like skyscrapers, bridges, and towers to reduce vibrations. Tuned mass dampers in particular are effective at controlling motions in large flexible structures.

    Dynamic Vibration Absorber

    Definition
    Dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) are devices used to reduce the vibration amplitudes of a primary system at
    certain frequencies, especially close to the resonant frequency

    Some practical examples of dynamic vibration absorber showed

    • DVAs are generally of three types

    • Vibration Neutralizer : Here, a secondary mass is connected to the


    primary using a spring element.

    • Auxiliary Mass Damper : Here the secondary mass is connected to


    the primary by a damper/dashpot.

    • Dynamic Vibration Absorber: A general case where both spring and


    damper are used to connect the secondary mass, with the primary
    system.
    Material used in vibration dampers:
    Metal, polymers, cement and their composites. Metal and polymer are dominant due
    to their viscoelasticity.

    Undamped Absorber is extremely effective at one speed only and thus is suitable only for
    constant speed machines.

    Damped Dynamic Absorber can take care of the entire frequency range of excitation but
    at the cost of reduced effectiveness.

    Tuned mass dampers are mainly used in the following applications:
    The vibration absorber has been used in many application since it was invented in 1909.
