Abstract
A double-ended cantilever beam as a distributed parameter dynamic vibration absorber has been applied to a single-degree-of-freedom system subjected to harmonic forces.In this investigation, the beam has been analyzed under the well known model of Timoshenko and the computation of best parameters is based on the Chebyshev’s optimality criterion.This is somewhat novel in the field since:
For a ready use of the results herein presented, design charts allow a quick choice of optimal parameters such as tuning ratio and mass ratio.
