2. Vibration isolation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_isolation

   Vibration isolation is the prevention of transmission of vibration from one component of a system to others parts of the same system, as in buildings or mechanical systems. [1] Vibration is undesirable in many domains, primarily engineered systems and habitable spaces, and methods have been developed to prevent the transfer of vibration to such ...

3. Noise, vibration, and harshness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise,_vibration,_and...

   Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via jury evaluations, or with analytical ...

4. Sorbothane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbothane

   Sorbothane damps vibration transmission from vibrating hardware. In addition, Sorbothane has been used by NASA to isolate vibration, [5] [6] in the Air Force Memorial, [7] and to transport the Liberty Bell. [8] It is currently used with insoles and heel pads to absorb impacts during sports activities such as football, cricket, and rugby.

5. Acoustic quieting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_quieting

   Acoustic quieting is the process of making machinery quieter by damping vibrations to prevent them from reaching an observer. Machinery vibrates, causing sound waves in air, hydroacoustic waves in water, and mechanical stresses in solid matter.

6. Harmonic damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_damper

   A harmonic balancer (sometimes called crankshaft damper, torsional damper, or vibration damper) is the same thing as a harmonic damper except that the balancer includes a counterweight to externally balance the rotating assembly. The harmonic balancer often serves as a pulley for the accessory drive belts turning the alternator, water pump and ...

7. Centrifugal pendulum absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pendulum_absorber

   The distinction is significant since dampers reduce the vibration amplitude by converting the vibration energy into heat. Absorbers store the energy and return it to the vibration system at the appropriate time. [5] Centrifugal pendulum absorbers like tuned mass absorbers are not part of the force/torque flow.
