Abstract
A system and method for absorbing vehicle body vibrations is described. The mechanical self-tuning vibration absorber system is utilized to absorb a body vibration with a varying frequency. In a particular application the absorber system provides for absorbing varying frequency vibrations of a helicopter aircraft body. The vibration absorber system utilizes asymmetrical damping to tune the resonant frequency of the system.
