Abstract


This paper gives and introduction to impact dampers, which have been discussed in literature, and their extension to torsional oscillations, which appears to be new. It extensively surveys literature on impact dampers and on the fundamental phenomenon of metal-to-metal impact in so far as it is of interest to impact dampers.

Keywords


coefficient of resititution; damping; Hertzian theory; impact damper; MUVIN; resonance; stress wave; st Venant's theory; torsional impact damper.
