The third possibility is to try to use a dynamic vibration damper or dynamic vibra-
tion absorber such as that shown schematically in Figure 4.55. This design is based on
the finding that when the natural frequency
equals the frequency co of the excitation force P = P 0 sin cot, the main mass M will not
oscillate, because of the vibrations of the added absorber's mass m. Thus, the force
k 2(x 2 - xj of the stretched spring will balance the force P acting on the main mass M.
The equations describing the behavior of this system (assuming that friction is negli-
gible) are as follows:
The solutions of this system are
where for the amplitudes a\ and a 2 we obtain
