Researchers have been pushing the capabilities of materials by carefully designing precise structures that exhibit abnormal properties that can control acoustic or optical waves. However, these ...

Traditional isolators are fabricated using metal springs or rubber blocks. They have low internal damping and only tend to be effective at frequencies in the region of 10 Hz. They also fail to isolate ...

A vibration isolator or mount is often modeled by the Voigt model describing uni-axial (longitudinal) motion with frequency-invariant parameters. However, wave effects due to the mass distribution ...

One major noise source of diesel engines are timing gear impacts. The structure vibration excitation mechanisms of the timing gears of different 3-cylinder diesel engines are investigated. To this end ...

Toyo Tire’s patent involves a mounting structure for a dynamic damper that effectively reduces vibration in a vehicle. The structure includes separate suspension and plate members, allowing for ...

People regularly ask what the difference is between vibration damping and vibration isolation. These phrases can be used interchangeably sometimes, but they are distinct. TMC Sales and Applications ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A different kind of design for absorbing vibrations could help better soundproof walls and make vehicles more streamlined, a new study shows. The study tested how well built-in ...
