Please can anyone explain about underplatform damper and where it is used?

berkeman said:Can you expand a bit on your question? Where have you heard about this component? What do you mean by platform? What kind of platform? What do you think an "underplatform damper" would be used for?
An underplatform damper is a type of vibration control device that is used in the aerospace industry. It is typically installed on aircraft engine mounts and is designed to reduce the vibration and noise produced by the engine.
The underplatform damper consists of a mass that is attached to the engine mount structure through a spring. This mass is able to move in response to the engine vibration, and the movement is damped by the viscous fluid within the damper. This reduces the amount of vibration transmitted to the aircraft structure.
The use of underplatform dampers can greatly reduce the vibration and noise levels in aircraft engines. This can lead to a more comfortable ride for passengers and can also improve the overall performance and lifespan of the engine.
An underplatform damper is specifically designed for use in aircraft engines, whereas other types of dampers may be used in different industries or applications. Additionally, underplatform dampers are typically smaller and more lightweight to accommodate for the weight restrictions in aircraft.
In addition to their use in aircraft engines, underplatform dampers can also be used in other industries such as automotive, power generation, and industrial machinery. They are typically used in any application where vibration and noise control is necessary.
