This document discusses the design of a tuned mass vibration absorber to reduce vibrations in a primary system. It begins by providing an overview of vibration and its causes. It then discusses the effects of vibration, both desirable and undesirable. Several methods for reducing vibration are presented, with the tuned mass vibration absorber being selected due to advantages like ease of design. The objective and working principle of a tuned mass vibration absorber are explained. The design procedure involves calculating the natural frequencies of the primary and absorber systems. Experimental validation was performed using equipment like an FFT analyzer and accelerometer. Applications include reciprocating machines and transmission lines. ANSYS was used to analyze balanced vs unbalanced masses. The conclusion is that a tuned mass vibration absor

2. Overview Of Vibration-
Vibration is the study of the repetitive motion
of objects. Vibration is caused by anything
that oscillates and it is transmitted through
continuous media.
When elastic bodies such as a spring, a beam
or a shaft are displaced from the equilibrium
position by the application of external forces,
and then released, they execute vibratory
motion.
Vibrations caused by a system effect other
systems, unless the systems are separated.

3. Causes of vibration-
Unbalanced forces in system.
Elastic nature of the system.
External excitations applied on the system.
Dry friction between two mating surfaces causes
vibration.
Vibration created by strong winds.
Earthquake or seismic activity.
Defects in assembly of machines such as broken
welds, loosely fitted bolts.

4. Effects Of Vibration-
(A) Desired Effects of vibrations:
Musical Instruments
Compacters
Vibratory Conveyers
Shakers
Stress Relieving
Hoppers
Sieves

5. (B) Undesirable Effects of vibrations:
Unwanted noise.
Loosening of the machines parts.
Excessive stresses induced in the system.
Vibration creates rapid wear of machine parts.
Due to heavy vibrations it is difficult to get exact &
Correct readings from the instruments.
Structural vibrations may collapse the structures such
as buildings, bridges etc.
Excessive vibration is harmful for humans (kinetosis).
‘Resonance’-which may lead to failure of component.

6. Methods of reducing vibrations-
(A) Removing external excitation if possible.
(B) There are certain advanced methods available to
reduce the vibrations to required level.
& These are,
1. Vibration Isolators
2. Vibration Dampers
3. Vibration Absorbers

7. Why we select Vibration Absorber-
Ease Of Design
Avoids Resonance
Ease Of Modification
No Effect Of Temperature On Working
Less Initial Cost
Less Modification Cost In Comparison
Compact In Nature

8. Objective-
To reduce the vibrations in a primary
system by adding an tuned mass vibration
absorber to the system so as to avoid
resonance & to achieve optimized
performance of machine or equipment.

9. How It Works?
The principle is that, if a system (Primary
system) has undesirable vibrations at an
operating frequency which approaches its
natural frequency, then to avoid vibrations a
secondary system (Absorber System) having its
natural frequency equal to the operating
frequency, is coupled to the Primary System to
reduce its amplitude to zero.
