The object of this paper is to investigate the optimum absorber parameters for vibration reduction of a beam subjected to dynamic loads. Unlike the existing literature that the absorber was considered as a spring-damper-mass system and the inertia effect of the spring was neglected, the last effect was taken into consideration in this paper. From the numerical analysis results of this paper, one finds that the inertia effect of the spring do affect the vibration reduction effectiveness of the absorber to some degree. In fact, the spring of the absorber is not massless. Therefore, the presented optimum absorber parameters should be more reasonable than the classical ones.
