The motion of a particular degree-of-freedom in a harmonically excited conservative system can be vanished by attaching an appropriate dynamic absorber to it. It is shown here that under certain conditions, which are characterized in the paper, the steady state motion of a damped system may be completely absorbed, without loss of stability, by active control implementing a single sensor and an actuator. The results are established theoretically and they are demonstrated by means of analytical examples. [S0739-3717(00)02104-8]
