Vibration absorber for a quadcopter?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the design of a vibration absorber for a quadcopter, specifically focusing on the integration of spring dampers attached to the quadcopter's arms. The primary system is identified as the quadcopter arm, while the absorber system consists of the spring damper and the base plate. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding what vibrations need to be mitigated, which includes considering the motor and blades as part of the primary system for a comprehensive analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vibration dynamics in mechanical systems
  • Familiarity with spring-damper systems

Homework Statement


I am supposed to examine the effectiveness of a vibration absorber design for a quad copter. Attached is a picture of the quad copter and the design; basically each of the spring dampers would be attached to an arm of the copter.
In the case of a single quad copter arm, what would be the primary system and what would be the absorber system?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I know the absorber system is the spring damper and the base plate. but for the primary system, is it just the arm or should i include the motor and the blades?
