ABSTRACT:
A fluid-filled Active Vibration Absorber (AVA) (20) is described for attaching to, and controlling dynamic vibration of the member (22). The AVA (20) is comprised of primary tuning mass (23) preferably including an additional inertial tuning mass (26) which is associated with a primary resonant frequency (fn1), a flexible element (28) for interconnecting the primary mass (23) and, thus, interconnecting inertial tuning mass (26) to member (22), at least one, and preferably two, fluid chambers, (30) and (32), each having a defined volume stiffness Kv'1, Kv'2, a fluid (34) contained within the at least one and preferably two, fluid chambers, (30) and (32), a moveable piston (36) dynamically interacting with the fluid (34) in the at least one fluid chamber and preferably, in first and second fluid chambers, (30) and (32), to cause pressure variations which dynamically drive the primary tuning mass (23) within a range about the primary resonant frequency (fn1). Preferably, a coil (40) and magnet-and-pole assembly (38) driving the piston (36). The AVA (20) preferably includes a secondary resonance (fn2) which is tunable by adjusting the mass of the piston (36), volume stiffness Kv'1 of the first fluid chambers (30), and a piston area Ap1, amongst other parameters.
