Abstract
This paper deals with the application of a linear dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) to a piecewise linear beam system to suppress its first harmonic resonance. Both the undamped and the damped DVAs are considered. Results of experiments and simulations are presented and show good resemblance. It appears that the undamped DVA is able to suppress the harmonic resonance, while simultaneously many subharmonics appear. The damped DVA suppresses the first harmonic resonance as well as its super- and subharmonics.
