This paper presents the design of a tuned mass damper (TMD) for vibration control of a simply supported metal beam. Considering the mechanical properties of commercial springs and magnetic dampers, and applying the finite element method, the feasibility of couple a TMD that allow to reduce vibrations in the beam was evaluated. This paper describes the beam mechanical properties, as well as the characteristics of the tuned mass damper. These results can be used in construction of dynamic models that promote the experimental study of structures. The equations proposed by Deng Hartog were used to identify adequate stiffness and damping. Finally, it was evaluated the performance of the TMD in vibration control under impact excitation conditions. With the implementation of this device, were obtained reductions of more than 90%.

Keywords : Dynamic analysis; finite element method; tuned mass damper; vibration control.
