Friction springs act as buffers to absorb and dampen high levels of kinetic energy from a moving mass. They also work as overload-protection devices and handle high forces in a relatively small ...

Described herein is an experimental and theoretical study of the dynamic properties of torsional viscous-friction dampers for use on Diesel engines and the characteristics of torsional vibration of ...

Coil spring force line control is an important aspect of spring design for coil-over-shock suspension type applications, such as MacPherson strut and coil-over-shock trailing arm applications, from ...

The dynamics of turbine blades, incorporating friction damping systems, represent a critical area in ensuring the operational reliability and longevity of modern aero-engines and power generation ...

Spring technology for damping is relatively old. Stagecoaches had leaf springs, early trains had large, crude, coil-spring buffers (to absorb shocks when cars bumped together) and early automobiles ...
