It is called vibration attenuation or cable damping. This solution involves the installation of a cable inside the tubular bus, which reduces or dampens the induced vibration with a cable counterweight. This technology has not only proven itself in European. By optimizing the bus design to account for induced vibration by adding cable dampeners inside the bus, there can be a significant reduction in the required maintenance due to reduced wear and tear of connectors, welds, insulators, and bolted connections, resulting in initial cost savings from. on to date is to place a cable within the tube. But this cheap method is not satisfactory as the cable subjected to the vibrations may come out of the tube if the end caps are not properly tightened or welded then could be loose, crea 00 CET FCA 2017-01-11 00:00:00 CET SDAMPER DOC. TYPE: Sales. Bus vibration is caused by a low steady wind blowing across the bus at approximately right angles to the span.
