2. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy (typically heat) which is then dissipated. Most shock absorbers are a form of dashpot (a damper which resists motion via viscous friction).

3. Friction disk shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_disk_shock_absorber

   The damping force of a friction shock absorber is adjusted with the central pivot and clamping bolt. A star-shaped spring applies a force to the stack of disks. The damping force is roughly proportional to this force and the clamping nut is provided with a pointer arm to indicate the approximate setting. Installation in rear suspension

4. Dashpot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

   Dashpots are commonly used in dampers and shock absorbers. The hydraulic cylinder in an automobile shock absorber is a dashpot. The hydraulic cylinder in an automobile shock absorber is a dashpot. They are also used on carburetors , where the return of the throttle lever is cushioned just before the throttle fully closes, then is allowed to ...

5. Magnetorheological damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorheological_damper

   A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This allows the damping characteristics of the shock absorber to be continuously controlled by varying the power of the electromagnet.

6. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

   In order to reduce the maximum force on the motor mounts as the motor operates over a range of speeds, a smaller mass, m 2, is connected to m 1 by a spring and a damper, k 2 and c 2. F 1 is the effective force on the motor due to its operation. Response of the system excited by one unit of force, with (red) and without (blue) the 10% tuned mass ...

7. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   Damping is the control of motion or oscillation, as seen with the use of hydraulic gates and valves in a vehicle's shock absorber. This may also vary, intentionally or unintentionally. Like spring rate, the optimal damping for comfort may be less, than for control. Damping controls the travel speed and resistance of the vehicle's suspension.
