Abstract The acoustic black hole (ABH) structure exhibits remarkable energy focalization above a given cut-on frequency, offering potential for broadband vibration suppression in structures. However, its energy focusing properties diminish significantly below this cut-on frequency. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance the vibration attenuation capabilities of ABH structures within the low frequency range. This study presents a numerical investigation into the impact of thin-walled structures with embedded ABHs and distributed dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) on low frequency broadband vibration reduction. Initially, the focusing characteristics of the ABH thin-walled structure is analyzed, aiding in the attached position of DVAs. Furthermore, the influence of the design parameters and attached position of DVA on the broadband damping effect of the structure is explored. The findings indicate that DVAs designed for low frequencies can achieve significant vibration attenuation across the entire frequency spectrum, including low frequencies, when installed at specific focusing positions. When compared to the position with the maximum vibration response, while the attenuation of the low frequency common amplitude value is slightly reduced, greater vibration attenuation across the entire frequency band is achieved. This research offers valuable insights into optimizing the integration of DVAs with ABHs in thin-walled structures for enhanced broadband vibration attenuation.
