Using 18.4a and 18.4b, you can easily find out the transmissibilities as
 |
(18.5) |
and
 |
(18.6) |
Since, and are basically two ratios, the RHS could be expressed in terms of the follwing nondimensional parameters:
- inertia parameter

- tuning ratio

where, being the stiffness of the absorber at frequency 
is the locked frequency
- loss factor

- excitation frequency ratio

Thus,

Typical plots of T vs Ω for and are
