2. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

   Damper (flow) Opposed blade dampers in a mixing duct. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature ...

3. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   Shock absorber. Miniature oil-filled Coilover shock components for scale cars. 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.

4. Dashpot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

   A dashpot, also known as a damper[citation needed], is a mechanical device that resists motion via viscous friction. [1] The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, [2] slowing the motion and absorbing energy. It is commonly used in conjunction with a spring. The process and instrumentation diagram ...

5. 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. This assumes that the system is ...

6. Mass-spring-damper model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-spring-damper_model

   Mass-spring-damper model. Classic model used for deriving the equations of a mass spring damper model. The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers. This model is well-suited for modelling object with complex material properties such as ...

7. Damping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

   Underdamped spring–mass system with ζ < 1. In physical systems, damping is the loss of energy of an oscillating system by dissipation. [1] [2] Damping is an influence within or upon an oscillatory system that has the effect of reducing or preventing its oscillation. [3] Examples of damping include viscous damping in a fluid (see viscous drag ...
