Abstract

A device for attenuating the periodic vibrations of a mechanical structure adapted to obtain cancellation of periodic vibrations of rotating machines including at least one transducer, detecting original vibrations, delivering a detected signal, a detector of the periodicity of these vibrations delivering a synchronizing signal, and a control circuit and a transducer generating compensation vibrations which are applied to the mechanical structure. The control circuit includes a circuit for synchronous filtering of the detected signal, controlled by the synchronizing signal and delivering a filtered signal whose frequency spectrum contains only the instaneous fundamental frequency of the detected signal. A circuit for regulating the filtered signal delivers an antivibration-control signal applied to a generating transducer in order to minimize the amplitude of the detected signal.
