SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIBRATORY MOTION REDUCTION FOR A PYLON ASSEMBLY

Abstract:

A vibratory motion reduction system for a pylon assembly includes an inner member having an opening extending therein that receives a first end of the pylon assembly, an outer member moveably attached to the inner member, a tuning mass attached to the inner member and the outer member such that a vibratory motion of the pylon assembly accelerates the tuning mass, a spring member that couples to a second end of the pylon assembly, and the spring member and the tuning mass reduce the vibratory motion of the pylon assembly.
