ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for reducing mechanical vibrations in a first part of a structure, in which these vibrations occur through its connection to a part of the structure which is the source of the mechanical vibration. This apparatus comprises an electromagnet rigidly connected to the first part of the structure and a body of magnetizable material connected via a resilient element to the first part of the structure, while an air gap is provided between the electromagnet and the body. The electromagnet is energized by a variable current through at least one coil and it exerts an attractive force on said body which is oscillating due to the vibrations occurring in the first part of the structure. The restoring force exerted by the resilient element on the secondary body has the effect of lowering the resonant frequency of the second body on the resilient element as compared to the resonant frequency of the apparatus when no current passes through the coil. The amount of this lowering can be controlled depending upon the frequency of the exciting vibration by varying the electric current through the coil.
