An "inerter" and vibrations (posted for rvanklom)


Ryan has provided us with another blog challenge topic. This time it is related to a new idea for vibration control in the suspension of Formula 1 racing cars. This device is called an "inerter" that adds effective mass to the suspension system through the conversion of translation motion into rotational motion.

Click here to see the analysis provided by Ryan for the inerter.

What do you think? Do you follow his analysis?
