Reply To: Modelling active damping in Ansys

[murali]

Tuned mass damper in turn uses as specific damping value throughout. Here what i need is more of a dynamic system,which generates a damping force which is a function of the actual displacement of the mass. 

Practically what happens is, a body subject to a force vibrates. This vibration is sensed by some sort of a sensor (an accelerometer or displacement sensor). This data is used to actuate an actuator which generates a force opposing the applied force, eventually reducing thze amplitude of vibration. This is what I need to model precisely.
