Design routines of a torsional spring-viscous damper for a 1800 kW four cycle diesel engine-generator system are described. Modal techniques for system normalization and optimal equations for damper design are used to obtain proper design parameters of the damper. A prototype damper is manufactured according to the described design process and its two design parameters, stiffness and damping, are evaluated experimentally by torsional actuator test and free decay test. Experimentally obtained values of stiffness and damping coefficients showed good agreements with the designed values of the prototype damper.

This paper presents a design of magnetorheological (MR) damper for control vibration of washing machine. This design is based on the requirements such as small dimensions with high damping force, and minimal consumed energy. The MR damper is designed using the shear mode of MR fluid, and Bingham plastic model is used for optimization process. In this design, a multi-coil design is adopted for damper to enhance damping force and reduce optimally structural parts. In optimization process, ADPL (Ansys Parametric Design Language) program is applied. Base on the optimal parameters, MR damper is manufactured and tested. In evaluation of MR damper, a modified sliding mode control is formulated and applied in both simulation and experiment. Results of experiment show that the MR damper satisfy the requirement of damping force for vibration control of washing machine.

This paper presents a damper system design in torque converter to minimize the vibration in powertrain of automatic transmission vehicle. The lock-up clutch in torque converter makes engine and transmission connected directly. When the lock-up clutch is engaged the torque fluctuation of engine is attenuated by the damper system. This function decides the vehicle power-train dynamic characteristics. At first, the dynamic hysteresis effect with any self and surface to surface contact problems of the damper springs in the damper system for torque converter is analyzed by using FEM. It is shown that these simulation results have a good design reference to energy dissipation operating by damper system in torque converter. And, to calculate dynamic characteristics, the vehicle model is structured by using $AMESim^{(R)}$?? that is a common use program. The vehicle model shows the frequency response of vehicle by changing the stiffness of damper spring, and these results lead the most suitable stiffness of spring. Also, new damper system is analyzed resonance frequency variation and is compared with prior damper.

An orifices fluid damper having the capacity of about 2 tons was designed and fabricated, and series of tests were performed to grasp the fundamental performance characteristics of it. Several important findings were observed and introduced in this paper. This fabricated orifices fluid damper will be applied to the structure under seismic load for the confirmation of its validity on structural vibration absorbtion as an extended study.

A linear motor damper based on the linear motor principle is developed to suppress structural vibration. This paper deals with the design, analysis, and manufacture of the linear motor damper. It is designed to be able to move the auxiliary mass of 1500kg, up to $\pm250mm$ stroke. The control algorithm was designed based on LQG control logic with acceleration feedback. Through performance tests, it was confirmed that the developed hybrid mass damper has reliable feasibility as a control device for structural control. In addition, the linear motor damper is more economical than both hydraulic and electric motor driving mass damper with respect to simple structure and low maintenance cost. A series of performance tests of the linear motor damper system were carried out on the full-scale steel frame structure in UNISON Corporation. Through the performance tests, it was confirmed that acceleration levels are reduced down 10dB for first mode of structure

This study shows the design process of a MR damper for semi-active suspension systems. Damping force characteristics of the designed damper was predicted through the flow analysis and magnetic analysis. The predicted results were compared with the experimental results and the initial design specification was modified according to the results.

In the present study, TMD(tuned mass damper) with eddy current damping is proposed to suppress the vibration of a cantilever beam effectively. The advantages of TMD are that it is simple and its performance are excellent at any particular frequency. However, TMD may have the low performance at other frequency. To solve this problem and improve its performance, this study applies the eddy current damping to TMD. This TMD with ECD is named as MTMD(magnetically tuned mass damper). MTMD is designed for the vibration suppression of a cantilever beam. The mathematical modeling, simulation, and experiments of the cantilever beam with MTMD are performed. From analytic and experimental results, it can be concluded that the vibration suppression performance of MTMD are excellent.

Spacer dampers maintain the constant gaps between each conductor in a bundle conductor-transmission line, and are installed at proper intervals to keep a line from all sorts of damages derived from the vibration energy caused by mechanical or electrical external factors. It is most important to embody a technology which considers difficulties of maintenance and repair, and has optimum elements in order to prevent accidents such as destruction by fire or the snapping of a wire by the effect of vibration phenomenon coming from transmission line. In the present thesis, therefore, the analysis of vibratory characteristics of spacer damper is set up by analytical methods such as the analysis of conductor motion's governing equation, the equation of spacer damper's motion, spacer damper-fastened wire's motion in a span, and the numerical analysis of finite difference method. Furthermore, the installation distance between spacer dampers was scrutinized by simulations of various vibration phenomena which change at any time as actual conditions do, and hereafter we will be able to analyze all kinds of vibration phenomena coming from a boltless spacer damper with 6 bundle conductor for 765 k V transmission line based on new analytical methods.

A dynamic vibration absorber using the Zener's model has been taken into account with respect to frequency response characteristics. The concept of the tuned mass damper with a single degree of freedom has been well applied for many industrial fields, because many researchers have extensively studied various basic characteristics, performance and optimization methods for long time. The Zener's model has an additional spring, which is connected between a damper and a mass, while the tuned mass damper with a single degree of freedom consists of a mass, a spring and a damper connected in parallel. In previous works, the basic performance and characteristics of the Zoner's model as a dynamic vibration absorber have not been investigated. In this study, the frequency response characteristics according to the parameter change of the Zener's model have been described. In order to find the optimum value of several parameters, we use iterative scheme with three dimensional frequency response diagram by MATLAB programming. Present results shows the Zener's model can give more good damping performance than the simple tuned mass damper, and the numerical of optimization method should be developed for the efficient vibration absorbtion.

A study on the dynamic response of single-storey steel frames equipped with a rotational friction damper is presented. Extensive testing was carried out for assessing the friction pad material, damper unit performance and foaled model frame response to lateral harmonics excitation. Numerical simulations based on non-linear time history analysis were used to evaluate the seismic behaviour of steel frames with rotational frictional damper. It Is demonstrated that using discrete friction dampers of proper parameters to link steel frame can reduce dynamic response significantly.
