Purpose: The paper presents a sensitivity analysis method based on a first-principle model in order to reduce mechanical vibrations of a hydraulic damper. Design/methodology/approach: The first-principle model is formulated using a system of continuous ordinary differential equations capturing usually nonlinear relations among variables of the hydraulic damper model. The model applies three categories of parameters: geometrical, physical and phenomenological. Geometrical and physical parameters are deduced from construction and operational documentation. The phenomenological parameters are the adjustable ones, which are estimated or adjusted based on their roughly known values, e.g. friction/damping coefficients. Findings: The sensitivity analysis method provides major contributors and their magnitude that cause vibrations Research limitations/implications: The method accuracy is limited by the model accuracy and inherited nonlinear effects. Practical implications: The proposed model-based sensitivity method can be used to optimize prototypes of hydraulic dampers. Originality/value: The proposed sensitivity-analysis method minimizes a risk that a hydraulic damper does not meet the customer specification.
