  • Publication number: 20120217108
    Abstract: A damping apparatus for an automobile is provided, capable of ensuring a high level of reliability while obtaining excellent damping effect with simple configuration. The damping apparatus for an automobile that reduces vibrations of an automobile body may include an actuator that is attached to the automobile body and drives an auxiliary mass; a current detector that detects a current flowing through an armature of the actuator; a section that detects a terminal voltage applied to the actuator; a calculation circuit that calculates an induced voltage of the actuator, and further calculates at least one of the relative velocity, relative displacement, and relative acceleration of the actuator, based on a current detected by the current detector and the terminal voltage; and a control circuit that drive-controls the actuator based on at least one of the relative velocity, relative displacement, and relative acceleration of the actuator calculated by the calculation circuit.

  • Publication number: 20100127442
    Abstract: An automobile vibration damping device for an automobile in which a power plant in which an engine, a transmission and the like are combined is supported by a vehicle body, including a vibrating means that generates vibration separate from vibration of the engine. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the vibration amplitude of a seat portion by the reaction force of the vibrating means. Also, if the vibration mode of the vehicle body is adjusted so as to become a node in the vicinity of the seat portion, the vibration amplitude decreases in the vicinity of the seat portion, and improves riding comfort.
