• Urethane damping materials cure faster than water-based versions and have comparable damping performance. • PVC plastisol damping sheets and tiles quiet airborne noise 100 times better than bare ...

Anyone who has ever flown in an airplane knows this problem: You want to read a book or to snooze without being disturbed, but around you there is an annoying bucking and a humming noise. The sources ...

Active or passive technology can be used to isolate vibrations from equipment. By employing active techniques, opposite but equal forces are created electronically via actuators and sensors to cancel ...

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 ...

When everything shakes, precision is usually impossible – everybody who has ever tried to take a photo with shaky hands or make handwritten notes on a bumpy bus journey knows that. With technical ...

A sound damping and vibration reducing material can quiet and reduce vibrations in electronic racks, chassis, enclosures and other products. Comprised of two or more metallic substrates surrounded by ...

When you bring various complex mechanical and structural components together to form a functional motion system, modeling and predicting the resultant dynamics is usually difficult. Sometimes, the ...
