A typical vibration absorber is a single-DOF spring/mass/dashpot system that is attached ... The larger the mass of the absorber the larger the bandwidth between the resonances of the absorbed system.

Although standard vibration-isolation techniques use passive damping to reduce disturbances transmitted through the floor — vibrations from footsteps, passing trucks and heavy equipment in the ...

For effective vibration isolation, it is desirable to increase the frequency ratio r to a value ... Also, as discussed above it is desired to keep the damping as small as reasonably possible for ...

In this video we take a look at how vibrating systems can be modelled, starting with the lumped parameter approach and single ...
