System Non-Linearities Induced by Skyhook Dampers

The nonlinearities induced by skyhook dampers are studied experimentally and analytically using a single degree of freedom base-excited system that is representative of the systems that such dampers are often used in. The experimental results are used to show that the nonlinearities introduced by sk...
