The invention discloses a rate damping method combining a momentum wheel and a magnetic torquer. The total angular momentum HT of a satellite is calculated according to the angular speed measured by a gyroscope and the current angular momentum of the momentum wheel; when the angular momentum is smaller, the tri-axial momentum wheel is used for quick damping; when the angular momentum exceeds the angular momentum absorbing capacity of the momentum wheel, the tri-axial magnetic torquer is used for rate damping. During magnetic damping, once the angular momentum of the satellite is reduced to a certain range, the momentum wheel is switched for damping. According to the method, characteristics of two kinds of rate damping by the momentum wheel and the magnetic torque are combined, reasonable switching between the momentum wheel and the magnetic torquer is realized, and the time required by rate damping is shortened.

The invention discloses a method for vibration absorption and noise reduction of steel rails by self-attraction type combined magnetic damping sheets, which comprises the following steps: a rail web and a rail foot of a steel rail (1) are symmetrically provided with the combined magnetic damping sheets (2); the outer layers of the combined magnetic damping sheets are symmetrically provided with constraint metal plates (3) which are fixed at both sides of the steel rail by a U-shaped magazine clip (4); the combined magnetic damping sheets have the magnetism and are attracted on the side surfaces of the steel rail; related interfaces inside the combined magnetic damping sheets and between the combined magnetic damping sheets and the steel rail as well as between the combined magnetic damping sheets and the constraint metal plates can cause vibration friction and slide relatively during the vibration of the steel rail; the mechanical energy of the vibration is converted into thermal energy to be dissipated to eliminate the vibration energy or the vibration amplitude of the steel rail; and the combined magnetic damping sheets and the steel rail are not adhered, so the viscoelastic damping mechanism is lost, which ensures that the range of the vibration frequency is wider, the temperature change has smaller influence, and good vibration absorption and noise reduction effects exist in a wider range of frequency domain and temperature domain. The method has convenient installation and replacement, and obvious vibration absorption and noise reduction effects, and can be widely used for vibration absorption and noise reduction engineering of track traffic.

A magnetic recording system is disclosed in which the magnetization dynamics of the write head and recording medium are highly damped. The system may comprise a perpendicular recording head having a write pole, and a recording medium including a hard magnetic recording layer and a soft magnetic underlayer (SUL). The increased magnetic damping in the write pole and SUL suppresses precessional motion of the respective magnetizations, leading to a reduction in transition jitter caused by spurious head field fluctuations. The damping may be increased by providing films or multilayer structures that are doped with rare earth or transition metal elements. Exchange coupled laminates of doped and undoped layers may optimize both the effective damping and write field in the recording system.

A spin-torque oscillator (STO) has increased magnetic damping of the oscillating free ferromagnetic layer. The Gilbert magnetic damping parameter (a) is at least 0.05, and preferably greater than 0.05. The free layer may be a any type of conventional ferromagnetic material, but contains one or more damping elements as a dopant.

Another type of damping layer may be one formed of one or more of the elements selected from Pt, Pd and the lanthanides.
