trillingsdempers
Trillingsdempers, or vibration dampers, are devices or materials used to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations in structures and machinery. They work by dissipating energy as heat or by altering the dynamic response, helping to prevent resonance, reduce noise, and protect components from fatigue.
Common implementations include viscoelastic dampers that use materials whose stiffness and damping change with strain and
Operating principle: passive trillingsdempers rely on inherent material damping or viscous forces, while active systems use
Applications: civil engineering for buildings and bridges subject to wind or earthquakes; aerospace and automotive industries
Design considerations include selecting the damping ratio, natural frequency, load capacity, temperature range, aging and wear,
