Selective damping apparatus comprises at least one sensor (7) for detecting, and producing signals indicative of at least the frequency and amplitude of vibrations of a first structural component ("the resonant structure") (6) having one or more resonant frequencies, at least one vibration generator (40) for generating damping vibrations for application to the resonant structure, a controller (8) for controlling the operation of the vibration generator (40) in delayed response to the signals produced by the at least one sensor (7), and wherein at least one of said at least one sensor (7) and of said at least one vibration generator (40) is adapted to operate in co-operation with a second structural component ("the non-resonant structure") (2) relatively insensitive to the resonant frequencies of the resonant structure (6) and connected or coupled to said resonant structure (6) either directly or indirectly via one or more intermediate structural components.

L'invention concerne un appareil d'amortissement sélectif qui comprend: au moins un capteur (7) permettant de détecter, et de produire des signaux indiquant au moins la fréquence et l'amplitude de vibrations d'un premier composant structural (la structure de résonance) (6) qui présente une ou plusieurs fréquences de résonance; au moins un générateur de vibrations (40) permettant de générer un amortissement de vibrations à appliquer à la structure de résonance; un contrôleur (8) permettant de commander le fonctionnement dudit générateur de vibrations (40) dans une réponse retardée aux signaux produits par le ou les capteurs (7), le ou les capteurs (7) et le ou les générateurs de vibrations (40) étant conçus pour fonctionner en coopération avec un second composant structural (la structure de non résonance) (2) relativement insensible aux fréquences de résonance de ladite structure de résonance (6) et étant connectée et raccordée à celle-ci, directement ou indirectement, au moyen d'un ou de plusieurs composants structuraux intermédiaires.
