    摘要: A method of inspecting a joint at which first and second members are at an initial relative position is provided. The method includes applying an optically activatable layer to the joint. The applying includes disposing first and second sections of the optically activatable layer on respective exterior surfaces of the first and second members, respectively, such that the first and second sections move relative to one another with relative first and second member movement. The method further includes activating the optically activatable layer to optically ascertain, from relative positions of the first and second sections, a secondary relative position of the first and second members, comparing the secondary and the initial relative positions and determining whether the joint of the DS exhibits a precursory damage indication in accordance with results of the comparing.

    摘要: A mechanical part configured to be placed under torque. The mechanical part includes an inner tube having, a corrugated web (602), and an outer shell (206, 306, 406, 506). The inner tube has an outer tube circumference, a tube axial direction, and a tube length. The corrugated web (602) has a plurality of peaks (608) and a plurality of troughs (610), a height measured as a difference between one of the peaks and one of the troughs, and a web length perpendicular to the height and in the tube axial direction. The outer shell has an inner shell circumference, an outer shell circumference, and a shell length. The plurality of troughs (610) is affixed to the outer circumference of the inner tube. The plurality of peaks (608) is affixed to the inner shell circumference of the outer shell. The web length is aligned with the tube length and the shell length.

    摘要: A method of depositing a high entropy metal alloy coating onto a substrate includes mixing metallic salts of one or more elements with a solvent to form a mixture, heating the mixture to form a liquid, such that constituents of the liquid are in a mobile ionic state, and electroplating the metallic salts onto a substrate from the ionic liquid. A solution for electroplating is also disclosed. Preferably, the mixture has a eutectic point that is lower than about 100°C, preferably wherein the eutectic point is between about 10°C and 100°C and the one or more elements includes at least one of zirconium, niobium, titanium, tantalum, molybdenum, tungsten, rhenium, and hafnium, and combinations thereof.
