VEHICLE WITH THREE OR MORE WHEELS PROVIDED WITH AN ANTI-ROLL STABILISER DEVICE AND ANTI-ROLL CONTROL METHOD OF A VEHICLE HAVING AT LEAST THREE WHEELS
A vehicle with 3 or more wheels includes at least two wheels aligned on the same axis. The vehicle has an intermediate centreline plane between the wheels parallel to a direction of movement, including a mass suspended in relation to the wheels defining a passenger or containment compartment, and two suspension groups kinematically connecting the suspended mass to the two aligned wheels. An anti-roll stabiliser device has at least one compensation mass kinematically connected to the suspended mass via a guide and movable in relation thereto. The anti-roll stabiliser device has a drive of the compensation mass to distance or bring the compensation mass closer to the centreline plane on the side opposite the displacement of a barycentre of the suspended mass with respect to the same centreline plane, to oppose the displacement with respect to the centreline plane of the position of the barycentre of the suspended mass.

ANTIVIBRATION DEVICE
An antivibration device capable of attaining damping performance in a comparatively broad frequency band range is provided. In the antivibration device, between an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, formed are a first liquid chamber, a second liquid chamber, and a third liquid chamber. There are provided a first orifice passage that makes the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber communicate with each other, and a second orifice passage that makes one of the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber and the third liquid chamber communicate with each other.
COMPRESSION-TYPE MASS DAMPER, AND SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND VEHICLE USING THE SAME
A compression-type mass damper may include a damping mass formed with an open space, the damping mass enclosing an outer surface of a target through the open space and absorbing vibration of the target, a weight body enclosed by the damping mass, the weight body applying weight to the damping mass, and
a compression plate enclosed by the damping mass, the compression plate applying a fixing force to the open space.

Electromagnetic damper
An electromagnetic damper includes a torque detection unit that detects a torsional torque of an output shaft of an electric motor or a torsional torque of a transmission shaft, which transmits an external vibration to the electric motor, and a control device that controls the electric motor. The control device controls the electric motor so as to cancel the torsional torque detected by the torque detection unit.
Electromagnetic flywheel damper and method therefor
The present disclosure relates to an electromagnetic rotary shock absorber for damping a wheel suspension component associated with a motor vehicle. The electromagnetic rotary shock absorber has a flywheel and at least one damper. The damper has a first element operably associated with the flywheel for driving the flywheel rotationally, and a second element operably associated with the wheel suspension component. The damper operates to dampen relative movement of the wheel suspension component using an inertia of the flywheel.
Eddy current damper with asymmetrical forces
A vehicle, suspension system and method of dampening a force on the suspension system is disclosed. The suspension system includes a damper having a first damping element and a second damping element configured to rotate relative to each other in response to a force received at the suspension system. The second damping element induces an eddy current in the first damping element during relative rotation. A feature of one at least one of the first damping element and the second damping element provides a first electrical resistance to the eddy current during relative rotation in a first direction and a second electrical resistance to the eddy current during relative rotation in a second direction. The first electrical resistance generates a first damping force and the second electrical resistance generates a second damping force.

Roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle
A roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle includes a torsion bar and a vibration damper located on the torsion bar. The vibration damper is configured to vibrate relative to the torsion bar. The vibration damper includes two half-shells formed together about the torsion bar. Damper elements are disposed between the half-shells. The damper elements can be adjusted via an adjustment component to alter the rigidity of the damper elements.
