ABSTRACT:
A damping system for attenuating the transverse oscillation of a structure caused by external forces having a countermass attached to the structure by a spring and a coulomb damper. The parameters of the damping system are chosen so that the natural frequency of the damping system matches the natural frequency of oscillation of the structure.
