An inerter is a mechanical device that is used in mechanical networks to provide a form of mass-like behavior without actually carrying mass. It is a passive device that, when integrated into mechanical systems, can enhance their dynamic performance by increasing the system’s damping and improving stability. ### Key Characteristics of an Inerter: 1. **Mass-like Behavior**: The inerter generates a force that is proportional to the relative acceleration between its terminals, creating an effect similar to that of an inertial mass.
