Abstract
A tuned mass damper is a well known concept that can be
used to reduce undesired oscillation of structures. In
the structures where the dynamic properties are changing
with time an adaptation of the tuning is needed. In this
study two complementary concepts for the adaptive tuned
mass damper (ATMD) were studied based on utilization of
magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) and temperature
sensitive elastic epoxies (EPOX). Tuning condition of the
ATMD is adjusted by retaining the phase lag of the moving
mass to the main structure. In addition ATMD was
controlled with minimization of the response. Both ATMD
concepts proved to work excellent in real scale
laboratory test setup. Response of the self excited 900
kg test table was decreased approximately 60 - 80 %. The
studied ATMD concept can be used in industrial and
transport applications where low power consumption (few
tens of watts) and short adjustment time (few seconds)
are required.
