  • Resonant frequency adjustment using tunable damping rods
    Patent number: 7212644
    Abstract: A mechanical device is tuned using a tunable damping rod. The tunable damping rod can have its tension increased between its respective engines, to in order to increase the resonant frequency of the mechanical device. Different aspects may also be included; the mechanical device may include a constrained layer damping material, which constraints certain mechanical vibrations. The tuning may tuned the mechanical device to reach that vibration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 29, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 1, 2007
    Assignee: California Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Marcel Gavriliu, Tuomas Holmberg
