TLDR
In this paper, a vibration absorber for attachment to suspended cables such as electrical transmission lines is presented, to suppress vertical aeolian vibrations as well as horizontal subconductor oscillations.
Abstract
A vibration absorber for attachment to suspended cables such as electrical transmission lines, to suppress vertical aeolian vibrations as well as horizontal subconductor oscillations. A clamp arm has one end attached to a suspended cable and another end rotatably coupled to a frame through two frictionally-engaged elements which provide coulomb friction when the clamp arm is caused to rotate relative to the frame as a result of said vibrations or oscillations. A separate resilient member couples the clamp arm to the frame to restore the initial orientation of the clamp arm.

Spacer-damper assembly

TL;DR: A cable damper is a hollow rigid metallic body consisting of a pair of complementary half shells which are clamped together in edge-abutting relation, a plurality of clamping arms pivotally mounted on the metallic body, and resilient energy absorbing means biasing the arms into neutral positions.
