The parameters of primary importance in structural vibrations are natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ... Damping capacity is the ability to absorb vibration energy. This property is inherent in all materials to some degree. In most cases, increasing the damping capacity results in reduced vibration amplitudes. Thus, components or buildings that have low damping capacity tend to vibrate more than those with high capacity. 2, record 1, English, - matching%20counterweight%20damping

Les paramètres les plus importants dans la vibration des structures sont la fréquence naturelle, la forme de mode et l'amortissement. [...] L'amortissement est la capacité d'un élément à absorber l'énergie produite par les vibrations. Cette caractéristique existe à divers degrés dans tous les matériaux. Dans la plupart des cas, l'augmentation de la capacité d'amortissement entraîne la réduction de l'amplitude des vibrations. Ainsi, les éléments ou les bâtiments ayant une faible capacité d'amortissement ont tendance à vibrer davantage que ceux ayant une capacité plus élevée. 3, record 1, French, - amortissement%20%C3%A0%20masse%20accord%C3%A9e
