A dynamic absorber is a device used to reduce or eliminate unwanted vibrations in mechanical systems by adding a secondary mass-spring-damper system that resonates at the same frequency as the undesired vibration. This technique effectively transfers energy from the primary system to the absorber, minimizing the amplitude of vibrations in the main structure.

Mechanical systems are assemblies of interconnected components designed to manage forces and movement, often converting or transmitting energy to perform a specific task. They are fundamental in engineering, encompassing a wide range of applications from simple machines to complex industrial machinery.

Energy transfer is the process by which energy moves from one system or object to another, often changing form in the process. This fundamental concept is crucial for understanding various physical phenomena, from biological processes to mechanical systems and thermodynamics.
