The viscous pendulum damper consists of a cylinder containing round trays on which round lead slugs rest. When assembled, the container is filled with a viscous liquid and attached, with axis vertical, to the structure. The device permits varying the damping of structural vibrations.
Viscous-film damper eliminates response lag of resonance generated noise when inserted into the thrust measuring system. This technique can be applied to automated devices when pulsed force or low order impact is involved, and where signal noise is produced by stopping or reversal of mechanical travel or by water hammer.
