A new method to support the development and optimization of torsional vibration dampers is presented. All relevant operating points, all parameters critical to function and their production tolerances are taken into consideration. In addition to product optimisation and quality assurance, the systematic use of this method reveals conflicting targets and helps to establish the limits of existing design concepts. This results in a targeted search for new and innovative ideas, as demonstrated here with the example of the centrifugal pendulum-type absorber (Figure 1).
