Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0349979A1] An arrangement is described for damping vibrations of structures (1) or parts thereof, consisting of a damping mass (2) which is connected to the structure (1) or part thereof via resilient and vibration-damping elements. Friction-spring elements (3), which are arranged on the structure (1) or part thereof radially, tangentially and/or perpendicularly to the direction of the vibrations to be damped, are provided as the resilient and vibration-damping elements (Fig. 1). <IMAGE>
