Some aspects of design and application of inertial dampers

Abstract

Over the last years, there has been intensive development of technologies applied to protect structures such as overhead transmission lines, chimneys, high rise buildings from excessive dynamic effects leading to their damage or destruction. In the paper special attention is put on the system of passive dampers applied to overhead transmission lines and dampers used in oil and gas industry. The efficiency of the aeolian damper is presented. The constructions of weighted drill pipes with vibration-impact particle dampers designed to absorb the energy of longitudinal and twisting oscillations of the drill tool are described. The advantage of a multi-container absorber is substantiated. The application aspects of the inertial dampers developed by the authors are combined using a common effect based on the antiresonance phenomenon.
