The study of viscoelastic damping in structural dynamics is a critical field that addresses the mechanisms by which materials dissipate energy under dynamic loads. Viscoelastic materials exhibit a ...

• Urethane damping materials cure faster than water-based versions and have comparable damping performance. • PVC plastisol damping sheets and tiles quiet airborne noise 100 times better than bare ...

The input stage of an off-line power converter usually contains an LC averaging filter. A common practice is to damp the LC filter using additional reactive/dissipative components. In this article, we ...

Continuous damping control is an electronic system that can adjust the tension in a shock absorber to create a more dynamic ride for the vehicle. Delphi Corp. uses a special fluid that can be made ...

Before shipping moving-coil meters, manufacturers may short-circuit the meters' terminals with a length of wire, which provides effective electromagnetic damping and results in better immunity to ...

When faced with the challenge of reducing cost without sacrificing quality, damping grease can be a useful tool in a design engineer's bag of tricks. Damping greases are specialty lubricants that ...

Multi-story buildings are assembled over-cautiously to withstand wind strengths, researchers have found. Multi-storey buildings are assembled over cautiously to withstand wind strengths, researchers ...

In Part 1 of this series devoted to loudspeaker panel vibration we took a look at the maths & theory underpinning the mechanics of panel vibration. Here in Part II, we'll take an empirical look at ...
