A Cascade Hybrid Active Dynamic Vibration Absorber(CHADVA) is proposed, which is a cascade combination of an active and a passivedynamic vibration absorbers. CHADVA can avoid the influences of shock, noise, orcontrol spillover caused by ADVA on the buildings. Furthermore, a SwitchedCascade Hybrid Active Dynamic Vibration Absorber (SCHADVA) is presented,which not only possesses all merits of CHADVA, but also keeps a certainperformance of vibration control under large earthquake. The usefulness of them isverified through numerical calculations and computer simulations.
