massadämpäri
Massadämpäri is a Finnish term that translates to "mass damper." In physics and engineering, a mass damper is a device designed to reduce unwanted vibrations in structures. These vibrations can be caused by various sources, such as earthquakes, wind, or machinery. The core principle behind a mass damper is to counteract the oscillations of the structure by introducing a counteracting mass that moves out of phase with the structure's vibrations.
There are several types of mass dampers. Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are the most common. They consist
Another type is a viscous damper, which uses a fluid to resist motion. This type of damper
