Abstract

The sweep technique described in this paper represents a new method for measuring the relative performance of different dampers. Based on laboratory measurements, the technique is easy to use and keeps test execution time to a minimum. It also allows measurement of the relative performance of nonlinear dampers for which it is difficult to derive the analytical expression for their mechanical impedance. In addition to describing the test setup, the paper also presents results obtained from the application of this technique to four types of commercial dampers.
