Determination of dynamic characteristics of piston-hole-type and bypass-pipe-type oil dampers using computational fluid dynamics

Oil dampers are indispensable devices for vibration suppression, but their nonlinear behavior makes it difficult to theoretically determine their damping characteristics. For that reason, the damping coefficient for oil dampers has conventionally been handled by introducing an experimentally determi...
