This article is concerned with the synthesis problem of passive mechanical admittances that connect masses in a chain. The mass chain is excited at one boundary point, and the admittances are designed to suppress the disturbance independent of the length of the chain. The scalar transfer functions from the disturbance to a given intermass displacement are studied. The disturbance rejection performance is optimised over a class of arbitrary positive real mechanical admittances. The resulting admittance is synthesised mechanically using springs, dampers, and inerters only.

质量链中无源互连的合成，实现无标度性能

本文涉及将质量块连接在一起的无源机械导纳的综合问题。质量链在一个边界点被激发，并且导纳被设计为抑制干扰，而与链的长度无关。研究了从扰动到给定质量位移的标量传递函数。在一类任意正实数机械导纳上优化了抗干扰性能。所产生的导纳仅通过弹簧，阻尼器和惰性器进行机械合成。
