Abstract

An active inertial damper system () and method for damping vibrations (V,V) in a structure (). An inertial mass () is supported by a support frame () via spring means () to form a mass-spring system () having a resonance frequency (fn). A controller () is configured to control a force actuator () to adapt the driving force (Fd) as a function of measured vibrations (V,V). The controller () comprises a filter (H) determining a magnitude (M) of the driving force (Fd) as a function of frequency (f) for the measured vibrations (V,V) in the structure (). The filter (H) is configured to provide an anti-resonance dip in the magnitude (M) of the driving force (Fd) at the resonance frequency (fn) of the mass-spring system () to suppress resonant behaviour of the mass-spring system () itself.
