What is it about?

The aim of this paper is to perform a dynamic scaling of the original model in order to build up a new double mass model utilizing viscoelastic properties which is smaller with small masses and is easier to work even possible in laboratory conditions. The new dynamically scaled model is supposed to has the same behavior as the original one if its natural frequencies are the same with the original model.

Why is it important?

The two masses M1 and M2 of the new double mass scaled model using viscoelastic properties are calculated after optimization performed with numerical calculations of the characteristic polynomial varying with masses in order to fit the same natural frequencies.

Perspectives

This combined model can be used in future research, because it is much less than the investigations dynamic model but has the same dynamic behavior as the real machine.
