摘要:
Systems and methods for dampening dynamic loading between two bodies are described. An example dampening system includes a non-ferrous metal body attached to a second body and a stack of magnets attached to a third body. The stack of magnets is movably disposed within or around the non-ferrous metal body, and adjacent magnets are arranged in an opposed polar relationship, whereby relative movement of said second and third bodies is damped. An example method of dampening dynamic loading includes arranging a plurality of magnets along an axis to form at least one pair of magnets having an opposed polar relationship along the axis. The method further includes axially moving the at least one pair of magnets relative to a non-ferrous metal body, so as to dampen dynamic loading of a payload attached to a vehicle.

A sealant containment assembly for enclosing fasteners disposed within a confined space. The sealant containment assembly includes a first containment member and a second containment member that extend between two surfaces. The first and second containment members each include structure-engaging ends for engaging a structural member and the first and second containment members each include enclosure ends that connect the first and second containment members together to enclose the fasteners within a confined space defined by the first and second containment members, the first and second surfaces, the structural member and the connected enclosure ends. The assembly also includes at least one injection port disposed outside of the confined space but is in communication with at least one distribution port disposed inside the confined space for filling the confined space with sealant, thereby embedding the fasteners in sealant.
摘要:
This disclosure provides a cap assembly (32) for encapsulating a fastener (27) or portion of a fastener (27) that protrudes from a surface (33) and into a confined space. The cap assembly (32) includes a plurality of nested sections (36, 51, 52, 38) that telescope from a collapsed configuration to an extended configuration. The plurality of nested sections (36, 51, 52, 38) includes a base section (36) that includes a base rim (37) that engages the surface (33) in the extended configuration. The plurality of nested sections (36, 51, 52, 38) also includes an end section (38) that has an end wall (41). The end wall (41) and the base rim (37) define a length of the cap assembly (32) in the extended configuration that is sufficient to encapsulate the fastener (27) within the cap assembly (32) with the base rim (37) engaging the surface (33) and the end wall (41) spaced apart from a distal end (34) of the fastener (27).
