This paper considers the design of a vibration absorber to reduce structural vibration at multiple frequencies, with an enlarged bandwidth control at these target frequencies. While the basic absorber is a passive device a control system has been added to facilitate tuning, effectively giving the combination of a passive and active device, which leads to far greater stability and robustness. Experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of the absorber are also described.
