Minimization of the amplitude of the entire span of beams using mass dampers by Issa, Jimmy S.

“…Traditionally, passive vibration devices such as mass spring dampers or mass dampers were attached to beams and carefully designed to minimize the maximum amplitude at a given point along their span. Since minimizing the amplitude at one point of the beam might increase it at another point, in this work the maximum amplitude along the entire beam span is minimized. …”
