Abstract

Vibration reduction and isolation plays an important role in protecting machinery and structures from unwanted vibration related problems. A variety of passive and active isolation systems have been developed for vibration suppression. However, passive systems are only effective for narrow frequencies while passive systems usually have high costs.
