Damping of Forced Vibrations in Systems of Connected Rigid Bodies

The problem of damping forced vibrations in a system of bodies linked by one-degree-of-freedom elastic joints is considered. The vibrations are damped by introducing additional bodies into the system. The controlled motion of these bodies compensates the effect of the external perturbation. The motion of a system of three bodies is studied in detail. To determine the sensitivity of the perturbation compensation method to the damping parameters, a numerical simulation is carried out
