A study of nutation dampers with application to wind induced oscillations

Performance of a set of torus-shaped nutation dampers, suitable for arresting relatively low frequency oscillations, is studied experimentally using a simple test facility. More important parameters affecting the damper performance are established and their influence assessed for a variety of config...
