Impact dampers are efficient in many industrial applications with a wide range of frequencies. An experimental analysis of the impact damping of spherical balls is investigated to simplify the particle impact damping design and improve the vibration suppression. The objective of the study is to analyze some of the design parameters of impact damper using spherical balls. The experimental investigation consists to test the effect of the ball size for each mass level, the number of balls for each size level and different exciting force levels on vibrations of the main structure. The parametric study provided useful information to understand and optimize Particle Impact Damping design.

Particle impact damping (PID) is a technique of achieving high structural damping with small metallic particles embedded within a cavity that is attached to vibrating structure. This is a highly non-linear damping mechanism in which energy dissipation is primarily related to friction and impact phenomena. In this work a simple yet detailed analytical model is presented to study PID in two dimensions under transient vibrations. Normal as well as oblique impacts are considered. The effect of cavity size and acceleration amplitude on PID is studied and the results are supported by experiments. Fairly good agreement is found between the theory and the experiment.

In this article, an experimental study of a vertical particle impact damper under free excitation is investigated. Specific impact damping is determined for a primary structure (clamped-free beam) with an enclosure attached to its free end and containing a lead particle. The influence of some system parameters such as clearance and intensity of excitation are investigated. An analytical model based on the concept of an equivalent system with impacting mass is presented and used to compute the specific impact damping. Driven by the experimental observation, it has been shown that a high value of specific damping capacity was reached with a particle impact damper. The obtained results prove the efficiency of this process for achieving high structural damping.
