Abstract
A method for attenuating resonance frequency responses is disclosed. The method includes encasing at least one conducting element within a protective sheath and disposing a damping element about the at least one conducting element. The damping element is fixedly secured to the at least one conducting element for inhibiting relative movement between the damping element and the conduit. The method also includes positioning the at least one conducting element concentrically within a conduit to define a gap between the at least one conducting element and the conduit.

A method for attenuating resonance frequency responses, comprising:
- encasing at least one conducting element within a protective sheath;
- disposing a damping element about the at least one conducting element, wherein the damping element is fixedly secured to the at least one conducting element for inhibiting relative movement between the conducting element and a conduit;
- and
- positioning the at least one conducting element concentrically within the conduit to define a gap between the at least one conducting element and the conduit.
A resonance frequency response attenuation apparatus, comprising:
- a conduit;
- at least one conducting element encased in a protective sheath;
- a damping element disposed about the at least one conducting element, wherein the damping element is fixedly secured to the at least one conducting element for inhibiting relative movement between the conducting element and a conduit, and wherein the at least one conducting element is disposed concentrically within the conduit and defines a gap between the conduit and the at least one conducting element.
