A wave spring comprises fiber in a thermoplastic resin matrix, and includes one or more annular wave-springs elements, or one or more curvilinear wave-spring elements. The annular wave-spring elements, which are arrayed in a stack, are not coupled to one another. A wave spring comprising annular wave-spring elements includes an alignment feature for establishing and maintaining the alignment of the wave spring elements. In a wave spring including curvilinear wave-spring elements, a first end of each curvilinear wave-spring element is attached to a first member and a second end of each curvilinear wave-spring element is attached to a second member, the plurality of curvilinear wave-spring elements being disposed between the two members. The plurality of curvilinear wave-spring elements in the array are positioned side by side, the array extending laterally along a length of the first member and second member, and providing a low-profile wave spring.

The invention relates to a torsion carrier, particularly a torsion spring, helical spring, drive shaft or balance shaft, which enables significant material and installation space savings compared to the prior art. The torsion carrier consists of a plurality of, but at least two supporting layers lying radially one above the other, each of which consists of at least one spiral coil (1, 3), but preferably of a plurality of spiral coils made of predominantly unidirectional composite fiber material, wherein at least two of the supporting layers have a counterrotating spiral coil orientation relative to one other. An elastic intermediate spacer layer (2) is arranged between adjacent spiral coil layers, by means of which a decoupling of the spiral coil expansions of adjacent spiral coil layers is achieved. This achieves particularly favorable, predominantly single-axis states of stress which allow for a high level of material utilization.

A suspension spring unit can be positioned between a vehicle body and a wheel support. The suspension spring unit may form a constituent part of the vehicle chassis, configured with spring bodies made from a fiber composite material. At least two ring bodies arranged in series may be made from a fiber composite material and may have a respectively closed contour. The two ring bodies may be connected to one another via at least one connecting element.

A coil spring includes: a core that is elastically deformable; and a reinforced fiber layer including reinforced fibers wound around an outer circumference of the core, and a thermoset resin that firmly adheres the reinforced fibers to one another. In at least a part of a surface layer of the reinforced fiber layer, a content percentage of the reinforced fibers on an inner circumferential side of the coil spring is larger than a content percentage of the reinforced fibers on an outer circumferential side of the coil spring.

A spring having a sandwich-structured composite including a core structure, a top skin, and a bottom skin. The core structure comprises a framework, or array of geometric shapes designed to absorb and distribute the forces applied to the spring. Preferably the framework comprises an array of hexagonal columns that extend between the top and bottom skins. The top and bottom skins are laminated to a respective top and bottom surface on the core structure. The spring can comprise any suitable type of spring that is well-known in the art, including a leaf spring, a coil spring (or helical spring), a torsion spring (or clock spring), a conical spring, and so forth.

Provided is a suspension spring for a shock absorber using carbon fiber reinforced plastic. From a structure including a spring unit in which a plurality of bowl-shaped unit bodies are stacked between a first sheet and a second sheet along a length direction of a piston rod, the suspension spring for the shock absorber can achieve weight reduction and durability improvement while exhibiting the same performance as that of steel coil spring by using the carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
摘要:
Unbonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) have desirable characteristics for seismic isolation, but the unbonded application also introduces several design limitations in comparison to bonded elastomeric isolators. Unbonded FREIs are not capable of resisting tensile forces, making this type of isolator inappropriate for situation where overturning is of concern or regions where large vertical accelerations are anticipated. Furthermore, since unbonded FREIs rely on friction to transfer horizontal forces, permanent slip could occur. Concerns over both transfer of tensile forces and permanent displacement can be obviated by partially bonding the FREI to the supports. In this way, partially bonded FREIs (PB-FREIs) retain the beneficial characteristics of an unbonded FREI, but also demonstrate characteristics of a bonded isolator, notably tensile forces can be transferred and potential permanent displacement is inhibited.
