The dynamic vibration absorber is a device for reducing the vibration of many structures and mechanical equipment. It consists of a small mass which is attached to the primary vibrating system or main mass. The impact damper is one of such dynamic vibration absorbers in which motion of auxiliary mass is limited by motion-limiting stop or placed inside a container. In this paper, in order to consider energy loss for an impact represented by the coefficient of restitution and duration of collision, an analytical model with hysteresis damping is introduced. Using this model, dynamic response of the system under harmonic and that under random excitations are analyzed. Some numerical results are shown.
