ABSTRACT:
A technique for reducing noise generated by transverse vibrations in elongated members comprises the application of a friction element on a surface of the member. The friction element is forced against one or more surfaces of the member by a selected normal force and is provided in a vicinity of maximum distortion of the member when the member undergoes vibrations. A differential movement between the inner surface of the friction element and the outer surface of the member causes heat to be generated which dissipates the energy of such transverse vibrations.
