Abstract A semi-active vibration absorber with adaptive capability is presented to improve wide band vibration suppression characteristics of harmonically excited structures. The absorber subsection consists of a double-ended cantilever beam carrying an intermediate lumped mass. The adaptive capability is achieved through concurrent adjustment of the position of the moving mass, along the beam, to comply with the desired optimal performance. If such an absorber is attached to a vibrating body, it effectively absorbs vibrations at all frequencies that belong to the absorber frequency bandwidth. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed absorption scheme. It is shown that the tuning strategy tries to follow and match the absorber natural frequency with the excitation frequency. The optimally tuned absorber provides considerable vibration suppression improvement over the passive and de-tuned absorbers, for wide band excitation disturbances.

Magnetorheological damper (MR damper) has been expected to control the response of civil and building structures in recent years, because of its large force capacity and variable force characteristics. In this paper, a series of real-time hybrid test was conducted and the results of real time hybrid tests were compared to those of shaking table tests. To determine the control force of the MR damper, skyhook control and sliding mode control theory were employed. As the results, the validity of real-time hybrid test was verified. This paper describes the capability of MR damper to control the structural response.
