Damping
The process of reducing vibrational energy through dissipation. Applied in automotive suspensions and building foundations.
Tuned Mass Damper (TMD)
A device mounted in structures to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations. Applied in skyscrapers and bridges.
Vibration Isolation
The process of isolating a system from the source of vibrations. Used in machinery foundations and sensitive equipment.
Base Isolation
A collection of structural elements which should substantially decouple a superstructure from its substructure resting on a shaking ground. Commonly used in earthquake-prone areas.
Vibration Absorber
Device designed to attach to a vibrating system to reduce the system's vibrational amplitude. Implemented in rotating machinery and vehicle engines.
Dynamic Vibration Absorber
A tuned spring-mass system designed to reduce vibration at a particular resonant frequency. Applied in automotive and aerospace sectors.
Force Balancing
A method to balance forces to minimize vibration during operation. Used in rotating machinery and precision instruments.
Active Vibration Control (AVC)
Technique employing electronic feedback to adapt and counteract unwanted vibrations. Found in high-performance engineering applications like helicopters and precision machine tools.
Passive Vibration Control
System that reduces vibrations without the need for added energy or electronics. Utilized in industrial vibration damping and noise reduction solutions.
Vibration Damping Materials
Substances used to dissipate vibrational energy into thermal energy. Integrated into walls, floors, and machine mounts.
Vibration Monitoring
The process of measuring and analyzing the level of vibration to predict and prevent potential failures. Employed in predictive maintenance for industrial machinery.
Modal Analysis
The study of the dynamic properties of structures under vibrational excitation. Applied during product design and testing for automotive and aerospace components.
Harmonic Damping
Reducing the vibration at specific harmonic frequencies of a system. Applicable in reducing gear mesh vibrations and powertrain noise.
Shock Absorption
The method of consuming kinetic energy produced by impact. Utilized in vehicle bumpers and sports equipment like helmets and padding.
Vibration Simulation
Using computational models to predict vibrational behavior in a system before it is physically tested. Integrated into the design process in engineering for performance optimization.
