The present impact absorbing member includes: a hat-shaped member having a hat top section; and a plate-shaped member facing the hat top section. A deformation guidance section is provided on a wall section of at least one of the hat top section and the plate-shaped member. The deformation guidance section includes: a first high strength section having relatively higher buckling resistance in the wall section; and a pair of low strength sections having relatively lower buckling resistance and arranged on both sides of the first high strength section therebetween in a view along the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the impact absorbing member includes a pair of second high strength sections disposed on both sides of the deformation guidance section to be adjacent to the pair of low strength sections in a view along the longitudinal direction and having a higher buckling strength relative to the low strength sections.

A hydraulic mount apparatus includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion disposed on a center axis and defining a housing chamber. A partition member is disposed in the housing chamber dividing the housing chamber into a pumping chamber and a receiving chamber. The pumping chamber extends between the upper portion and the partition member. The receiving chamber extends between the lower portion and the partition member. A decoupler is attached to the partition member separating the pumping chamber and the receiving chamber. A moving member is disposed in the pumping chamber and attached to the decoupler. The moving member is made from a non-elastomeric polymer sheet secured to the decoupler for providing the additional damping force.

Mass damper device comprising a tubular housing having a first and a second longitudinal end; at least one damping mass which is received in the tubular housing with a circumferential clearance; a first resilient element and a second resilient element. At least one end closure is arranged at the first or second longitudinal end. The housing and the end closure have cooperating mounting surfaces which define a longitudinal mounting position of the first and second end closures. The mounting surfaces are arranged such that the first and second resilient elements are compressed between the damping mass and the end closure, when the first and second end closures have been mounted, at the longitudinal mounting position, to the housing.

The invention relates to a method for producing a viscoelastic damping body (1, 20, 30), comprising at least one spring element (4) and at least one damping element coupled thereto, wherein the method is characterized in that the damping element and optionally also the spring element (4) are produced by means of a 3-D printing method. The invention further relates to a viscoelastic damping body (1, 20, 30) that is or can be produced according to such a method and to a volume body comprising or consisting of a plurality of such damping bodies (1, 20, 30).
