vibration shock absorber
1Shock absorber — Gas damper A shock absorber is a mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse, and dissipate kinetic energy. It is a type of dashpot. Contents …
2Regenerative shock absorber — A regenerative shock absorber is a type of shock absorber that converts parasitic intermittent linear motion and vibration into useful energy, such as electricity. Conventional shock absorbers simply dissipate this energy as heat. When used in an …
3shock absorber — Mach. a device for damping sudden and rapid motion, as the recoil of a spring mounted object from shock. [1905 10] * * * Device for controlling unwanted motion of a spring mounted vehicle. On an automobile, the springs act as a cushion between… …
4Vibration isolation — is the process of isolating an object, such as a piece of equipment, from the source of vibrations. Passive isolationPassive vibration isolation systems consist essentially of a mass, spring and damper (dash pot).Active isolationActive vibration… …
5Shock (mechanics) — A mechanical or physical shock is a sudden acceleration or deceleration caused, for example, by impact, drop, kick, earthquake, or explosion. Shock is a transient physical excitation.Shock is usually measured by an accelerometer. This describes a …
6Torsional vibration — is angular vibration of an object commonly a shaft along its axis of rotation. Torsional vibration is often a concern in power transmission systems using rotating shafts or couplings where it can cause failures if not controlled. In ideal power… …
7Active vibration control — is the active application of force in an equal and opposite fashion to the forces imposed by external vibration. With this application, a precision industrial process can be maintained on a platform essentially vibration free.Many precision… …
8Suspension (vehicle) — Suspension is the term given to the system of springs, shock absorbers and linkages that connects a vehicle to its wheels. Suspension systems serve a dual purpose – contributing to the car s handling and braking for good active safety and driving …
9Chapman strut — Lotus Twelve The Chapman strut is a design of independent rear suspension used for light cars, particularly sports and racing cars. It takes its name from, and is best known for its use by, Colin Chapman of Lotus. The characteristic feature of… …
10Tuned mass damper — An animation showing the movement of a skyscraper versus the mass damper. The green indicates the hydraulic cylinders used to damp the motion of the skyscraper. A tuned mass damper, also known as an active mass damper (AMD) or harmonic absorber,… …
