Abstract
A fluid damping apparatus includes a housing enclosing a chamber retaining a damping fluid, a piston disposed in the housing chamber and movable between a first end position and a second end position, and a variable volume element disposed in the housing chamber having a first size occupying a first volume in the housing chamber. Increased fluid pressure of the damping fluid (e.g., resulting from increased temperature of the fluid damping apparatus and associated expansion of the damping fluid) compresses the variable volume element to a second size occupying a second volume in the housing chamber smaller than the first volume, to permit expansion of the damping fluid, thereby limiting fluid pressure of the damping fluid.
