Abstract:
A mass damper system with a damper mass carrier having guide paths for receiving damper masses. The guide paths initiate swiveling movement at the damper masses around a center of mass during deflection of the damper masses. String lengths of imaginary string pendulums predetermine a position of respective coupling element configure the guide paths and the path curve is based on a first radial portion that extends from a central axis of the damper mass carrier to a connection point of a second radial portion and the second radial portion extends from the first radial portion to the center of mass. A ratio value is formed from a swiveling angle of the damper mass and its oscillation angle. A coupling element position in relation to the string length is determined by this ratio value.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for configuring a geometry of guide paths at a damper mass carrier of a mass damper system, wherein the damper mass carrier receives damper masses, wherein the guide paths of the damper mass carrier and the damper masses operatively communicate with one another by coupling elements, wherein the method comprises:\n a) initiating a swiveling movement at the respective damper mass by a swiveling angle around a center of mass through the guide paths of the damper mass carrier and the damper mass when the damper masses are deflected by a deflection angle from an initial position; b) geometric configuration of the guide paths and a geometric configuration of a path curve of the center of mass of the respective damper mass in association with one another; c) geometric configuration of the guide paths using string lengths of imaginary string pendulums which result during the deflection of the respective damper mass from the initial position by a deflection angle, and predetermination of the position of the respective coupling element; d) geometric configuration of the path curve of the center of mass of each respective damper mass based on a first radial portion and a second radial portion,\n wherein an extension length from a central axis of the damper mass carrier to a connection point of the second radial portion is associated with the first radial portion, wherein the first radial portion executes movements along an oscillation angle of the respective damper mass around the central axis, \n wherein an extension length from the connection point at the first radial portion to the center of mass of each respective damper mass is associated with the second radial portion, wherein the second radial portion executes movements along a deflection angle around the connection point at the first radial portion, \n e) specifying a ratio value diverging from zero which is determined from the swiveling angle of the respective damper mass in relation to its oscillation angle; f) determining the position of the respective coupling element in relation to the string length of the imaginary string pendulum associated with the respective is coupling element through selection of that location along the string length at which the position of the respective coupling element at the respective imaginary string pendulum remains unchanged over the deflection angle and at which contact forces acting between the coupling elements and the guide paths of the damper mass carrier and the damper masses are directed toward one another independent from the respective deflection angle in order to obtain a plurality of path points for the guide paths in the damper mass carrier and the damper masses, which path points differ from one another with respect to their radii; and g) connecting the plurality of path points for the guide paths to one another to form a polygonal chain by path curve segments which are strung together.
