  • Abstract
    The establishment of damper settings that provide an optimal compromise between wobble- and weave-mode damping is discussed. The conventional steering damper is replaced with a network of interconnected mechanical components comprised of springs, dampers and inerters - that retain the virtue of the damper, while improving the weave-mode performance. The improved performance is due to the fact that the network introduces phase compensation between the relative angular velocity of the steering system and the resulting steering technique
