2. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

   A schematic of a simple spring–mass–damper system used to demonstrate the tuned mass damper system. Tuned mass dampers stabilize against violent motion caused by harmonic vibration. They use a comparatively lightweight component to reduce the vibration of a system so that its worst-case vibrations are less intense.

3. Shock mount - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_mount

   A shock mount or isolation mount is a mechanical fastener that connects two parts elastically to provide shock and vibration isolation. Isolation mounts allow equipment to be securely mounted to a foundation and/or frame and, at the same time, allow it to float independently from it.

4. Vibration isolation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_isolation

   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. Damping is used in passive isolators to reduce the amount of amplification at the natural frequency.

5. 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 ...

6. Bushing (isolator) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushing_(isolator)

   It provides an interface between two parts, damping the energy transmitted through the bushing. A common application is in vehicle suspension systems, where a bushing made of rubber (or, more often, synthetic rubber or polyurethane [1]) separates the faces of two metal objects while allowing a certain amount of movement. This movement allows ...

7. 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. Quieting is achieved by absorbing the vibrational energy or minimizing the source of the vibration.
