    摘要: A system for determining acceptability of torsional dampers for service in a machine system includes a fixture, an ultrasonic scanner and an indicating device configured to indicate at least one of acceptability and unacceptability of a torsional damper based upon receipt of a signal from the scanner. A nondestructive testing method for a torsional vibration damper includes scanning a torsional vibration damper with ultrasonic energy, and determining a test value for the damper indicative of a viscosity of fluid sealed within a housing of the damper based on receiving transmitted ultrasonic energy. Receipt of ultrasonic energy may be used to determine the flow rate of fluid within the damper by indicating a time for fluid to flow to fill a void within the damper. The system and method may be implemented in a remanufacturing or salvaging process for torsional vibration dampers.

    摘要: A method and a device are described for influencing the mechanical load-bearing capability and/or loading of a technical structure. The method of the comprises: detecting at least one loading-correlated characteristic of the structure; determining a loading state of the structure on the basis of the at least one detected characteristic; assessing the loading state of the structure; and generating at least one signal on the basis of the assessment of the loading state and on the basis of at least one target function, which is designed at least to optimize the lifetime of the structure, which signal is sent to at least one actuator, which is integrated within the structure or is applied to the structure, to activate said actuator for influencing the loading state.

    摘要: The biasing spring of a valve is excited and the response detected to determine valve characteristics. Excitation is typically longitudinal oscillation applied by a vibrator connected in series with the spring. By performing a frequency sweep, resonance can be detected, and excitation can usefully be applied at the resonant frequency to produce valve lift. Testing can be performed in-situ, and maintenance of a plurality of valves is possible by collecting characteristic data for each valve and comparing against stored values.

    摘要: A system for the automatic signal recording and for evaluation of the decay behavior of a test object following a mechanical impulse excitation. The system includes a coupling element (3) coupled to sensors (2, 13), which detect oscillations of the test object (24) and which convert the detected oscillations to analog oscillatory impulses. The system is further provided with an amplifier (5) adapting the amplitude of the analog oscillatory impulses, a low-pass filter (6) provided for avoiding aliasing effects, an analog to digital converter (7) converting the analog oscillatory impulses to digital data and an arithmetic unit (8) for oscillation analysis and evaluation of the data. The coupling element (3), the amplifier (5), the low-pass filter (6), the analog to digital converter (7) and the arithmetic unit (8) are combined in a compact mobile unit (1) and are connected in series to one another.
