A novel kind of active resonator absorber and the simulation on its control effort

In this research, the advantages and limitations of an adaptive-passive vibration absorber (APVA) are analyzed in detail. Based on the analysis, a novel kind of active vibration absorber is proposed. It can be considered as the integration of APVA and active resonator absorber (ARA), so their advantages are inherited. Its control effort is theoretically analyzed. The results show that it needs much smaller control force than ARA.
