An example cantilever assembly includes a cantilever including an anchor configured to be coupled to a support, a tip, and an arm positioned between the anchor and the tip, a hollow conductive tube positioned at the tip of the cantilever, and a magnet suspended inside the hollow conductive tube with a first spring and a second spring. The first spring and the second spring are positioned at a first end and a second end of the hollow conductive tube respectively, and the magnet is positioned between the first spring and the second spring. The magnet is configured to move coaxially inside the hollow conductive tube as permitted by the first spring and the second spring, and the magnet suspended inside the hollow conductive tube operates as a tuned mass damper (TMD) to limit a resonant response of the cantilever assembly.

A dual-frequency vibration-reduction apparatus includes a beam having a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. An attachment mechanism mechanically couples a portion of the beam to a structure. One or more masses are attached to the beam such that the apparatus vibrates bi-modally at a primary frequency and a secondary frequency for reducing vibrations of the structure at the primary frequency and the secondary frequency. A first mode may be a bending mode of the apparatus, while a second mode is a torsion mode. The vibration reduction apparatus may be tuned such that the primary frequency substantially matches a blade-pass frequency of a propeller-driven aircraft and the secondary frequency substantially matches a harmonic of the blade-pass frequency. The vibration reduction apparatus includes a mounting mechanism for mounting to any structure requiring low-frequency vibration attenuation.

A method for producing a vibration-damping structure combination for damping vibrations for movable masses, having a first structure and a further structure, the further structure movable within a stop surface defined by a first structure surface of the first structure. The method includes a) providing the first structure, having the first structure surface and which defines a coating surface of a coating at least in some sections; b) coating the first structure surface of the first structure with the coating, the coating surface of the coating being applied such that a cavity is formed; c) filling the cavity with the filler; d) curing the filler until the further structure having a further structure surface is formed, which lies against the coating surface; and e) removing the coating, the further structure thus being movable relative to the first structure within the stop surface defined by the first structure surface.
