The paper presents a novel approach for prototyping and modelling of the Adaptive Tuned Particle Impact Damper (ATPID). After introducing the operation and potential disadvantages of the classical Particles Impact Dampers (PIDs) the authors propose the concept of single-grain controllable damper, which can adapt to actual dynamic excitation by a real-time change of the container height. The investigations focus on the methodology of simplified mathematical modelling of the ATPID damper based on grain physical properties, nonlinear soft contact theory, and control function of the absorber height being a novel component used to optimize dynamic response of the system. The proposed ATPID model is positively verified against the experimental results obtained from the developed test stand including a vibrating beam equipped with the proposed innovative attenuator. The conducted analyses clearly reveal the operating principles of the ATPID damper, the types of grain movement, the influence of shock absorber parameters on the vibrating system response and the energy balance of the system. The solution of the formulated optimization problem aimed at minimization of vibration amplitudes allows to find the optimal damper height for various physical parameters of the grain and the external excitation and to achieve a high efficiency of the proposed damper reaching 90%. In addition, a real-time control strategy providing adaptation of the ATPID damper to changing amplitude of kinematic excitation and effective mitigation of steady-state vibrations is proposed and verified experimentally.
