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. Hydropneumatic device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_device

   Hydropneumatic water hammer preventers are chambers of sufficient volume to allow an extension of time in which a given flow may be accelerated or decelerated without sudden large change in pressure. See also expansion tank. When shock waves of an incompressible fluid within a piping system exist, especially at a high velocity, there is a high ...

4. Water hammer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

   Hydraulic shock (colloquial: water hammer; fluid hammer) is a pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly: a momentum change. It is usually observed in a liquid but gases can also be affected.

5. Vibration isolation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_isolation

   All mechanical systems in the real world contain some amount of damping. Damping dissipates energy in the system, which reduces the vibration level which is transmitted at the natural frequency. The fluid in automotive shock absorbers is a kind of damper, as is the inherent damping in elastomeric (rubber) engine mounts.

6. 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 ...

   The ideal temperature for sleep is typically between 60°F and 67°F for most adults, says Martina Vendrame, M.D., neurologist and sleep medicine specialist at Lehigh Valley Health Network.
