The tuned mass damper was introduced as part of the suspension system by Renault on its 2005 F1 car (the Renault R25), at the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix.The system reportedly reduced lap times by 0.3 seconds: a phenomenal gain for a relatively simple device. [1]
A tuned mass damper, also known as a harmonic absorber, is a device that is attached to structures in order to reduce the strength of vibrations passing through them. [4] Tuned mass dampers are used in buildings across the world to reduce the effects of earthquakes and strong gusts of wind. [5]
Damping dissipates energy in the system, which reduces the vibration level which is transmitted at the natural frequency. The fluid in automotive shock absorbers is a kind of damper, as is the inherent damping in elastomeric (rubber) engine mounts. Damping is used in passive isolators to reduce the amount of amplification at the natural frequency.
A shock absorber or damper is a mechanical or hydraulic device designed to absorb and damp shock impulses. It does this by converting the kinetic energy of the shock into another form of energy (typically heat) which is then dissipated. Most shock absorbers are a form of dashpot (a damper which resists motion via viscous friction).
Shortly after its discovery, the inerter principle was used under the code name of J-damper in the suspension systems of Formula 1 racing cars. When tuned to the natural oscillation frequencies of the tires, the inerter reduced the mechanical load on the suspension. McLaren Mercedes began using a J-damper in early 2005, and Renault shortly ...
Independent Monitor James Ginger in his latest report said, "launching a tethering device at the moving wheels of a vehicle traveling on a roadway to halt the vehicle is a use of force."
