The dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) has been widely applied in various technical fields. Using the Taguchi’s method, this paper presents a procedure for designing the optimal parameters of a dynamic vibration absorber attached to a damped primary system. The values of the optimal parameters of the DVA obtained by the Taguchi’s method are compared by the results obtained by other methods. | A procedure for optimal design of a dynamic vibration absorber installed in the damped primary system based on Taguchi’s method
