#### Example: Combination of vibration isolation and a tuned mass-damper

For the best results of the reduction of the vibrations in the structure both methods the isolation and the tuned mass-damper have to be combined as seen in Figure 16. Figure 16: Simplification of the structure with an elastic mounting of the excitation and a tuned mass-damper

By this means a Simulink® simulation model due to the previous evaluated parameters for the isolation is set up. For the mass of the tuned mass-damper mi = 100 kg is used. The stiffness is set up with regards to the governing resonance in the operating range of the machine at f1 = 32.3 Hz By this means a stiffness of kt=(f1 2π)^2 * mt= 4.1187e6 N/m is used. The resulting Simulink® block-diagram of the damped harmonic oscillator with combination of the isolation and the tuned mass-damper is pictured in Figure 15.

Result:
For time-domain simulations a Simulink® model is implemented as seen in Figure 17. For the parametrization the properties listed in Table 1 are used.

In Figure 18 the different measures are compared in the frequency domain. The tuned mass-damper results in an efficient reduction of the combined resonance of the structure and the machine. Nevertheless still either neighboring double-peaks remain or the effect is reduced. The isolation reduces the resonance better and shifts the frequency higher and still to a higher amplitude, than the stiff coupling. This resonance can reduced due to the use of an additional mass-damper tuned to the remaining resonance. This way the combination shows practical no disadvantage in regard of an increasing peak over the base level of the stiff coupling.
