Particle damping has emerged as an effective passive method to suppress unwanted vibrations in a range of engineering applications. By utilising the inelastic collisions and friction between granular ...

Wind turbine blades are structures subject to dynamic loading. The project explores particle damper technologies as a passive vibration suppression system to damp unwanted blade vibrations. Through ...

Ankit Saxena wants to protect nuclear reactors and other infrastructure from future seismic activity. And he sees particle dampers, a vibration-damping technology, as the key to success. To further ...
