A novel configuration for damping devices with the main advantage of preserving open space within the frame of installation was developed and tested. The acquired test data were used for validating ...

The main objective of this project is to develop and test a phased damping device, or “gap damper”, to act alongside a base isolation system for buildings or bridges. The gap damper provides ...

Supertex introduced the MD0107, a high-speed four channel auto damping device. The Supertex MD0107 is a high voltage device intended to improve the signal and image quality of ultrasound systems, and ...

Chevron and MARIN worked together on a novel approach to characterize the actual damping for an FSPO in real world conditions. Results show that using damping from model tests means that roll decay in ...
