A dynamic damper system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for damping vibrations in a beam structure. The dynamic damper system includes a beam with a first and a second fixed end having a width and a thickness; a first and a second flexible support, each having a spring constant kconnected to the beam beneath the first and the second end, respectively; a first and a second torsional spring, each having a spring constant kconnected to the first and the second end, respectively; a moving load configured to traverse the beam reciprocally between the ends and generate first vibrations in the beam; and a dynamic linear spring mass damper connected to the beam is configured to travel reciprocally between the ends and generate second vibrations in the beam which are 180 degrees out of phase with the first vibrations in the beam generated by the moving load.
