With minimal or no damping, the Natural Frequency of a simple mass-spring-damper system, as displayed in Figure 42.1, can be characterized using the following equation: Damping in a basic system ...

A typical vibration absorber is a single-DOF spring/mass/dashpot system that is attached to a vibration body. The stiffness and mass of the absorber are designed in order to produce an “anti-resonance ...
