    Abstract: A testing device includes a first member to be positioned on one surface of a part to be tested. A second member to be positioned on an opposed surface of the part to be tested. One of the first and second members have an ultrasonic transmitter and the other has an ultrasonic receiver. At least one of the first and second members have at least one magnetic element and the other of the first and second member have at least one magnetic or at least one ferromagnetic metallic element such that when one of the first and second members moves along the surface of the tested part the other of the first and second members will move along an opposed surface with the one of the members.

    Abstract: A composite drive shaft includes a web-based body defining a longitudinal axis. The web-based body has a first composite layup end section, a second composite layup end section that is opposite to the first composite layup end section, a first spiral composite element extending between the first composite end section and the second composite layup end section, and a second spiral composite element extending between the first composite end section and the second composite layup end section. The first spiral composite element and the second composite spiral element are embedded into the first composite layup end section, and the second composite layup end section. The first composite spiral element and the second composite spiral element are arranged in a bi-directional orientation relative to the longitudinal axis. The first spiral composite element and the second spiral composite element are arranged at pre-determined angles and possess a uni-directional fiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composite structure.

    Abstract: Composite shafts and methods of making the same are described. The composite shafts include a plurality of composite elements arranged about an axis. The composite elements include first and second groups arranged at offset angles ±α. The groups of composite elements are configured to cooperate to allow the shaft to be flexible under bending and/or axial load and stiff under rotational load. The hollow shaft includes one or more axisymmetric radially-outward undulating portions and one or more axisymmetric narrow portions. The composite elements of groups are connected together in the radial direction along the narrow portions and the composite elements of the groups are not connected together in the radial direction along the undulating portions.

    Abstract: A flexible diaphragm coupler includes a flange having a central support and a flange element extending radially outwardly from the central support. The flange element includes a rim portion having an axially facing surface. The axially facing surface includes a plurality of interlock elements. A diaphragm member is disposed between the first flange and the second flange. The diaphragm member includes a diaphragm element. The diaphragm element includes a central support element and a disc member extending radially outwardly from the central support element. The disc member includes a rim element having an axially facing surface portion including a plurality of interlock members that connect with the plurality of interlock elements.
