(Nanowerk Spotlight) All mechanical systems exhibit vibrational resonances, where energy transmission through the structure spikes at certain natural frequencies. This resonance effect stems from the ...

In the sporting goods sector, consumers are willing to invest heavily in materials that combine both performance and sustainability. The Alliance for European Flax-Linen and Hemp, has reported an ...

Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A new material is a big exception to that tendency, however, as it absorbs ...

Seco Tools Inc. has developed its Steadyline vibration damping shell mill holders that feature a passive dynamic damping system offering up to three times the rigidity of equivalent solid holders,.

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 ...

A collaboration between the University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the U.S. Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) has shown it’s possible to electronically tune the frequency ...
