- Mechanical systems make common use of mass-included vibration absorbers. However, their performances are typically far from optimum – this paper proposed a systematic methodology to fully unlock the performance potential of passive vibration absorbers including one reaction mass. Results from a three-storey building case in this paper highlighted the substantial benefits of absorbers with a reaction mass included. This paper has directly led to an EPSRC 5-year Research Fellowship award, with significant industrial support from Atkins, Brecknell Willis and Co Ltd, GMT Rubber-Metal-Technic Ltd, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Romax Technology Ltd, SNC-Lavalin and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
