Active Damping: Control Diesel Engine Vibrations

 

Introduction

This model explores how to minimize vibrations in a diesel engine using a tuned mass damper.

In order to get the full experience of this example, you need the following:

 

These pages show an overview of the example. For the full example, open the accompanying notebook ActiveDamping.nb.

 

Equation Analysis

Using the Wolfram Language, create an interactive Manipulate analyzing the vibrations of a diesel engine for different damping parameters.

Simulation Analysis

Simulate the vibrating engine with different damping mass and spring-damper parameters. The Wolfram Language makes it easy to do such simulations in parallel.
