I am currently looking to design a steel stack and I need to use a tuned mass damper per ASME STS-1. Does anybody know where I can purchase one?

thanks for your help

This book has information on designing these systems, chapter 5, I believe. From this you can have a this fabricated.

Warren Environmental provides tuned mass dampers (

I have read a paper published by CICIND where Hamon Custodis (

http://www.hamon.com)

and Beaumont Chimney (

http://www.beaumont-chimneys.co.uk/)

were involved in a project that used a tuned mass damper on a stack. However, I do not know if one of these companies supplied the damper or if it was purchased from another company.
