A variety of structures under the influence for external force get excited due to resonance. This is because the frequency of external force and the natural frequency of the structure align with each other. This leads to high deformation which may cause damage to the integrity of the structure. There have been many applications of external devices to dampen the effects of this excitation in the structure such as Tuned mass dampers, Semi-Active and Active damper, which have been implemented in buildings, bridges and other fairly large structures. One of the methods used for active cancellation uses the principle of centrifugal forces generated due to rotation of an imbalance mass. This force helps countering the external excitation force coming into the structure.
