vibration mitigation

Vibration mitigation involves techniques and materials used to reduce unwanted vibrations caused by machines, traffic, or other sources. Excessive vibrations can lead to discomfort, noise, or even structural damage. To control this, engineers employ methods such as isolating equipment with special mounts or pads, using damping materials to absorb energy, or designing structures that distribute vibrations more evenly. The goal is to make vibrations less noticeable or harmful, improving safety and comfort while protecting buildings, equipment, and infrastructure from damage.
