Vibroacoustic Damping Using a Tuned Viscoelastic Damper
Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are highly effective and tunable passive vibration damping treatments. These devices are damped 2nd order systems appended to a vibrating structure; see Figure 1. Proper selection of the parameters (mass, stiffness, and damping) of a tuned mass damper, tunes the TMD to one of the natural frequencies of the underdamped flexible […]
