In this study, we address the reduction of structural vibrations by means of an electromagnetic shunt damper (EMSD) combined with a mechanical dynamic vibration absorber (DVA). Two architectures, that differs in the placement of the EMSD with respect to the DVA, are tested, showing that one of them enhances the vibration control. In parallel, three shunt architecture are tested: a resistive shunt, a resonant conservative shunt and a resonant dissipative shunt. Optimal values of the EMSD and DVA parameters are obtained; then, the performances of all architecture, according to relevant criteria, are estimated and compared to a single DVA or a single EMSD. The case of a conservative DVA, that creates an anti-resonance, is particularly targeted. It is shown that the performances rely on two free parameters only: the mass ratio for the DVA and the electromagnetic coupling factor for the EMSD, thus giving generic abacuses that can be applied to any practical cases. Finally, experiments are proposed and a good agreement with the theoretical results is obtained, thus validating them.

a b s t r a c tTuned dynamic absorbers are usually used to counteract vibrations at a given frequency. Presence of non-linearities causes energy-dependent relationship of their resonance and antiresonance frequencies at large amplitude of motion, which consequently leads to a detuning of the absorber from the targeted frequency. This paper presents a procedure to track an extremum point (minimum or maximum) of nonlinear frequency responses, based on a numerical continuation technique coupled to the harmonic balance method to follow periodic solutions in forced steady-state. It thus enable to track a particular antiresonance. The procedure is tested and applied on some application cases to highlight the resonance and antiresonance behavior in presence of geometrically non-linear and/or inertial interactions.
