Steady-State Behavior of Nonlinear Dynamic Vibration Absorber

Abstract
The Frahm-type dynamic vibration absorber is analyzed for the case where both main and absorber springs have nonlinearities of the Duffing type. A one-term-approximation solution is assumed for the motions of the two masses, and the resulting amplitude equation is solved using a graphical procedure. It is shown that the optimum dynamic-vibration-absorber system for variable frequency excitation is that which has a hardening main spring together with a softening absorber spring.
