PARTICLE DAMPER SYSTEM AND METHOD

An assembly for damping the movement of a vibrating body includes an energy dissipating material, a vessel, and a seal. The energy dissipating material may include one or more types of loose particles. The loose particles may include similar and/or dissimilar materials or a mixture thereof. The loose particles may at least partially fill the vessel. The vessel may be configured to conform to requirements of an environment of the vibrating body and to retain and/or store the loose particles. The seal may include a molded material, a plate, and/or a flange. In an embodiment, the plate may be atleast partially encompassed within the seal, and the seal, plate, and/or flange may be configured to engage the vessel and/or to retain the loose particles within the vessel. 用于阻尼振动体运动的组件包括耗能材料、容器和密封件。该耗能材料可包括一种或多种类型的松散颗粒。松散颗粒可包括类似和/或不类似的材料或其混合物。松散颗粒可以至少部分填充容器。该容器可以被构造成符合振动体的环境要求并保持和/或存储该松散颗粒。该密封件可包括模制材料、板状件和/或凸缘。在实施例中，该板状件可被至少部分包围在密封件内，并且密封件、板状件和/或凸缘可被构造成接合容器和/或将松散颗粒保持在容器内。
