A rotary damper ( ) includes a stationary member ( ) and a rotating member ( ) provided within the stationary member ( ) so that a gap ( ) is defined between the rotating member ( ) and the stationary member ( ). The rotating member ( ) further includes a central shaft ( ) provided therein. A viscous fluid ( ) is provided in the gap ( ) and has an associated shear that provides a velocity damping within the gap ( ). A differential growth in the gap ( ) caused by temperature variation compensates for temperature damping variation. A compliant member ( ) is provided within the stationary member ( ) for providing thermal compensation. A secondary hermetic seal ( ) is provided on the stationary member ( ) for permitting limited rotation, defining a vacuum environment and preventing viscous fluid leakage to an external environment.

A spacecraft payload, suspended by an isolator, is locked down during launch by using a compliant member to pull on a pin, clamping the payload against the launch lock. The payload is unlocked, after launch, by heating a shape memory alloy to move the pin to overcome the compliant member, releasing the payload from launch lock. The payload may be re-locked for reentry by heating another shape memory alloy to push the pin against the other shaped memory alloy.

A tuned mass damper is provided for use with a structure that vibrates at a first axial surge mode and a second axial surge mode, when exposed to a predetermined frequency range. The tuned mass damper includes a housing, an endcap, two masses, and two springs. The first and second masses are disposed in a housing cavity. The first tuned mass damper spring is disposed in the cavity coupling the first mass and the endcap. The second tuned mass damper spring is disposed in the cavity coupling the first and second masses. The tuned mass damper has first and second resonant frequencies in the predetermined frequency range to damp the first and second axial surge modes, respectively. The second mass resonates at an amplitude that is greater than an amplitude at which the first mass resonates, when the two masses are subjected to the second axial surge mode.

A vibration reduction system is provided for use in conjunction with a rotational device including a stationary body, a rotating body, and a first bearing assembly disposed between the stationary body and the rotating body. The vibration reduction system includes a first plurality of bearing mount actuators residing between the stationary body and the first bearing assembly. The first plurality of bearing mount actuators is configured to adjust the radial position of the first bearing assembly. The vibration reduction system further includes a vibration sensor, which is coupled to the stationary body, and a controller, which is coupled to the vibration sensor and to the first plurality of bearing mount actuators. The controller is configured to reduce vibrations sensed by the vibration sensor by selectively adjusting the radial position of the first bearing assembly utilizing the first plurality of bearing mount actuators.

In an embodiment, and by way of example only, a vibration isolator is used for coupling between a payload and a base and includes a rod, a magnetic damper, a first spring, and a second spring. The magnetic damper includes a movable section and stationary section. The movable section comprises a conductive material and has an opening through which the rod extends. The stationary section includes a magnet disposed around and spaced apart from the movable section and is coupled to the base. The first spring couples the movable section to the rod. The second spring is coupled to the rod and stationary section. In another embodiment, the vibration isolator also includes a voice coil actuation system.
