A damping system for a cable disposed within an upper pipe and a lower pipe includes a damper plate assembly connected to the upper pipe, a slider ring connected to and/or supported by the lower pipe, the slider ring having a hole in which the cable is arranged; and a shroud surrounding the damping system at a position where the upper pipe is adjacent to the lower pipe, such that the damper plate assembly and the slider ring are covered by the shroud. In such damping systems, the damper plate assembly and the slider ring are in contact with each other such that the transverse movement of the upper pipe relative to the lower pipe generates a frictional force to reduce an amplitude of the transverse movement of the upper pipe relative to the lower pipe.
A damping system for installation about a cable disposed within an upper pipe and a lower pipe, the damping system comprising:
A method of damping movement and/or vibration of a cable disposed within an upper pipe and a lower pipe, the method comprising:
