Principle and Application of Viscous Dampers in Vibration Reduction 1. What is a Viscous Damper? A viscous damper is a vibration reduction device that dissipates energy using the viscous resistance of fluids. Its core components typically include a sealed chamber filled with high-viscosity fluid (such as silicone oil or hydraulic oil) and a piston that moves within it. When the structure experiences external vibrations or shocks, the piston moves through the liquid, forcing the fluid to flow thr
