ELASTICALLY-SUSPENDED OBJECT VIBRATION DAMPING METHOD Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; controlled shock-absorbing systems. SUBSTANCE: method of vibration damping of elastically-suspended object with more than two tandem-mounted and parallel directed shock absorbers comes to the following: velocity of center of masses and angular velocity of object are measured, and rigidities of shock absorbers C_j are changed according to low where is deformation of jth elastic member; C_jo is initial rigidity of jth elastic member; is tolerable value of rigidity change of jth elastic member; y_o is translational displacement velocity of object center of masses; is object angular velocity g_i(t) is value of preliminary deformation of jth elastic member (value of kinematic action); x_j is coordinate of point of suspension of jth elastic member relative to center of masses; N is number of shock absorbers. EFFECT: provision of effective damping of translational angular vibrations of objects with multiple degrees of freedom, simplified rigidity control system of elastic suspension. 4 dwg
