Abstract
A mass damper system includes an unsprung mass, a sprung mass, a suspension component that supports the sprung mass with respect to the unsprung mass, and a damper mass that is connected to the unsprung mass. Motion control components are connected to the sprung mass and a fluid-operated system that transfers forces between the motion control components and the damper mass to regulate motion of the damper mass with respect to the unsprung mass.
