Technology of Semiactive Devices and Applications in Vibration Mitigation - Casciati, Fabio (University of Pavia, Italy) a Magonette, Georges a Marazzi, Francesco

Researchers have studied many methods of using active and passive control devices for absorbing vibratory energy. Active devices, while providing significant reductions in structural motion, typically require large (and often multiply-redundant) power sources, and thereby raise concerns about stability.
