  2. Inertia damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertia_damper

    Inertial compensators are also used in simulators or rides, making them more realistic by creating artificial sensations of acceleration and other movement. The Disneyland ride “Star Tours: The Adventure Continues” is a fair example of this principle. There are many types of physical devices that can act as inertia dampers:

  3. Inerter (mechanical networks) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inerter_(mechanical_networks)

    Shortly after its discovery, the inerter principle was used under the code name of J-damper in the suspension systems of Formula 1 racing cars. When tuned to the natural oscillation frequencies of the tires, the inerter reduced the mechanical load on the suspension. McLaren Mercedes began using a J-damper in early 2005, and Renault shortly ...

  4. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    The graph shows the effect of a tuned mass damper on a simple spring–mass–damper system, excited by vibrations with an amplitude of one unit of force applied to the main mass, m 1. An important measure of performance is the ratio of the force on the motor mounts to the force vibrating the motor, ⁠ F 0 / F 1 ⁠ .

  5. Torsional vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsional_vibration

    This damper uses a spring element (often rubber in automobile engines) and an inertia ring that is typically tuned to the first torsional natural frequency of the crankshaft. This type of damper reduces the vibration at specific engine speeds when an excitation torque excites the first natural frequency of the crankshaft, but not at other speeds.

  6. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    Underdamped spring–mass system with ζ < 1. In physical systems, damping is the loss of energy of an oscillating system by dissipation. [1] [2] Damping is an influence within or upon an oscillatory system that has the effect of reducing or preventing its oscillation. [3]

  7. Overrun brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overrun_brake

    The sliding mechanism contains a damper to even out the shock loading transmitted from the tow vehicle. Therefore, the inertia of the trailer provides the force to apply the brakes. Some systems have a ball hitch that is normally straight, but when the lead vehicle starts braking, the trailer pushes forward on the ball hitch, pitching it up ...

  8. Effective mass (spring–mass system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(spring...

    The parameter stands for in an ideal pendulum, and in a compound pendulum, where is the length of the pendulum, is the total mass of the system, is the distance from the pivot point (the point the pendulum is suspended from) to the pendulum's centre-of-mass, and is the moment of inertia of the system with respect to an axis that goes through ...

  9. Mass-spring-damper model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-spring-damper_model

    The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers. This model is well-suited for modelling object with complex material properties such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity .
