Dynamic Analysis of Stockbridge Damper

Advances in Acoustics and Vibration, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
In this work a machine cam with five different profiles was used to investigate the linear and nonlinear dynamical behavior of asymmetric Stockbridge damper with excitation frequencies in the range of 5 ≤ f ≤ 17 Hz. The experimental vibration signals were acquired through accelerometers placed along the sample.
