Vibration dampers are devices designed to reduce or control unwanted vibrations in structures and machinery. They work by absorbing and dissipating energy from vibrations, which can help prevent damage and improve performance. Common applications include bridges, buildings, and industrial equipment. These dampers can be made from various materials, such as rubber or metal, and come in different forms, including viscoelastic dampers and tuned mass dampers. By minimizing vibrations, they enhance safety, comfort, and longevity of the structures or machines they are installed in.
