Dynamical analogy approach to design of vibration absorbers with Maxwell-type viscoelastic connections

A passive electrical simulation of the properties of a Maxwell-type material as the connection between a vibrating mass and an absorber mass is shown to be a simple, convenient and effective way to determine design parameters for either displacement response or acceleration response

Abstract

A dynamical, electrical analogy is used to evaluate criteria for the maximally flat displacement and acceleration responses of a mechanical system equipped with a vibration absorber having a Maxwell-type viscoelastic connection and subjected to harmonic forces.
