  2. 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.

  3. Stockbridge damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockbridge_damper

    A Stockbridge damper is a tuned mass damper used to suppress wind-induced vibrations on slender structures such as overhead power lines, [1] long cantilevered signs [2] and cable-stayed bridges. The dumbbell -shaped device consists of two masses at the ends of a short length of cable or flexible rod, which is clamped at its middle to the main ...

  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. 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. Damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper

    Damper (food), a bread of the Australian Outback; In mechanical engineering, a damper is a device for suppressing vibrations in a mechanical system by dissipating energy. Dashpot, a type of hydraulic or mechanical damper; Shock absorber (British or technical use: damper), a mechanical device designed to dissipate kinetic energy

  8. Inertia damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertia_damper

    Rotary damper - rotary motion is dissipated as heat in a highly viscous fluid or gel. May use a smooth surface rotating cylinder and a smooth surface stationary interior wall with fluid/gel between. For more forceful motion absorption and higher surface area, a paddle wheel or toothed gear is used, with a similarly ribbed or studded stationary ...

  9. Pulse compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_compression

    Pulse compression is a signal processing technique commonly used by radar, sonar and echography to either increase the range resolution when pulse length is constrained or increase the signal to noise ratio when the peak power and the bandwidth (or equivalently range resolution) of the transmitted signal are constrained.
