Abstract:
1. A damping apparatus that suppresses unwanted vibrations and generates predetermined vibrations as necessary, comprising: an excitation section that excites a damping target object by vibrating an auxiliary mass supported by a linear actuator; a frequency detection section that detects a frequency of an excitation source that oscillates the damping target object; a vibration detection section that detects vibrations at a measuring point; a calculation section that finds command values of vibrations to be suppressed and vibrations to be generated, based on a frequency of the excitation source and a vibration detected at the measuring point; and a control signal output section that outputs a control signal, in which the command value of vibrations to be suppressed and the command value of vibrations to be generated are superimposed, to the excitation section.
