We have learned that an effective way to passively control vibration is through the usage of a "vibration absorber". A typical vibration absorber is a single-DOF spring/mass/dashpot system that is ...

The initial impact causes vibrations within the soft tissues, after which the tissues continue to oscillate as a free vibration—that is, vibrating at their natural frequency, with the amplitude of ...

High-rise buildings, known for their slender and tall structures, are particularly sensitive to vibrations caused by ...

From this procedure we are able to see that the response of the building is dominated by the jth mode when the frequency of excitation is tuned to near the jth natural frequency. Shown below are ...

Each isolator will start isolating after amplifying at its resonant frequency. Instead of reducing, air systems will amplify vibrations in a common range of 1.5 to 3 Hz because of the natural ...
