A method for vibrationally damping an article that is subject to resonant vibrations comprises the steps of providing a vibration damper and applying the vibration damper to the article to damp the resonant vibrations.

Vortex induced vibration (VIV) is thereby suppressed.

The effect of VIV on the cylindrical structure (68) is effectively reduced.

At least one component of the subassembly is exposed to the friction-induced vibrations.

Apparatus and methods for reducing vortex induced vibration are provided.

There is disclosed a system for reducing drag and/or vortex induced vibration of a structure, the system comprising a fairing moveable from a short fairing configuration to a long fairing configuration.

Finally, aspects of vortex-induced vibrations are discussed.

Disclosed is a subassembly comprising a braking system which generates friction-induced vibrations.

The induced vibration of the moveable element (102) is sensed using the sensor and converted into an electric oscillating signal.

Buoyancy modules are integrally shaped externally to reduce VIV formation.

A new approach to roughness-induced vibrations on a slider

The probeless bark deterrent apparatus uses an internal mechanical vibration sensor that detects vibrations induced in the housing.

A strake system (12) is provided for protecting a cylindrical marine element (6) from vortex induced vibration.

The fiber composite material used for the shaft dampens the vibrations introduced by the load introducing elements.
