Suspended chains damp wind-induced oscillations of tall flexible structures

Hanging-chain system, which is a form of impact damper, suppresses wind-induced bending oscillations of tall cylindrical antenna masts. A cluster of chains enclosed in a neoprene shroud is suspended inside the tip of the antenna mast, forming a simple method of damping structural vibrations.

Device damps fluid pressure oscillations in vent valve

Device, containing a tuned series arrangement of two plenum chambers and two orifices, damps high pressure fluid oscillations in a vent valve. Used in conjunction with vent valves, it relieves gas pressure that develops in liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks used on a space vehicle.
