Abstract
A tuned mass damper is a well-known concept that can be
used to reduce undesired oscillation of structures.
However, structures where the dynamic properties are
difficult to estimate traditional mass damper need to be
designed very carefully to make it work properly. For
these kinds of structures an adjustable tuned mass damper
(ATMD) is an effective vibration control tool. In this
study a simple concept for the ATMD was studied based on
a leaf spring and moving mass. Aim of the concept was to
make a simple low cost solution with wide control range.
The ATMD can be used as a troubleshooting device with
structures that have resonance problem without extinctive
pre study of the structure. Moving mass and span length
can be varied easily so the adjusting of the ATMD can be
done in situ. All the parts in ATMD are steel so the
temperature range is wide and also the reliability is
good. The studied ATMD concept was designed to use in
generator part of a diesel generator set. The ATMD can
also be used for example in other engine, manufacturing
and transport applications.
