Development of torus-shaped elastic body as a vibration absorber for flexural vibration in railway vehicle carbody and its experimental validation using commuter-type vehicle

This paper presents a study to reduce flexural vibrations of rail vehicle carbody, which have large impact on ride quality, by utilizing deformation of an elastic body as a dynamic vibration absorber (DVA). Donut-shape (called "torus" in this study) is proposed as the elastic body...
