This paper deals with reducing floor impact vibration and sound by using a momentum exchange impact damper. The impact damper consists of a spring and a mass that is contact with the floor. When a falling object collides with the floor, the floor interacts with the damper mass, and the momentum of the falling object is transferred to the damper. In this works a computational model is formulated to simulate dynamic floor vibration induced by impact. The floor vibration is simulated for various sized damper masses. A proof-of-concept experimental apparatus was fabricated to represent a floor with an impact damper. This example system consists of an acrylic plate, a ball for falling object, and an impact damper. A comparison between simulated and experimental results were in good agreement in suggesting that the proposed impact damper is effective at reducing floor impact vibration and sound by 25% and 63%, respectively.
