Public Title An Adaptively Tunable Vibration Absorber Using Shape Memory Alloy as the Tuning Element Division Lead Inventor Williams, Keith Public Description The proposed invention is a device for attenuating the vibration of a primary system. The device is attached to a primary system and reacts to reduce the vibration. The attenuation of the primary system's vibration is highly dependent on the resonant frequency of the attached device. Shape memory alloy elements are used to achieve tuning of the resonant frequency of the device across a band of frequencies.
