Abstract:
Provided is a multi-leaf spring-type vibration damping device capable of suppressing the resonance caused by rotations near the major critical speed of a rotating shaft system and suppressing self-excited vibrations due to rotations at or higher than the major critical speed of the rotating shaft system. In the multi-leaf spring-type vibration damping device, a bearing (9) of a rotating shaft system (6) that includes at least a rotating shaft (4) fit in the bearing and a rotor (5) mounted on the rotating shaft is clamped between a plurality of fixedly mounted and properly spaced-apart multi-leaf springs (11) at the portions near their distal ends, or the plurality of multi-leaf springs contact at those portions near the distal ends with the bearing, thereby to suppress the whirling vibrations of the bearing. The multi-leaf spring-type vibration damping device is characterized in that each multi-leaf spring is made into a multi-leaf spring unit (14) that has a double multi-leaf spring structure in which an auxiliary multi-leaf spring (13) having a structure substantially identical to that of the multi-leaf spring is faced and fixed at its portion near the proximal end of it to a portion near the proximal end of each multi-leaf spring through a spacer (12), and in which the distal end of the auxiliary multi-leaf spring is in advance forced in a direction opposite the multi-leaf spring so as to have a resilient force of a predetermined magnitude.
Abstract:
A process for producing a ceramic sinter or inorganic film in which anisotropic particles or anisotropic crystals have been oriented; or a process for producing a bonded composite material which comprises a base sample and another material tenaciously bonded to a surface of the base. The processes are characterized by imposing a centrifugal force during buming (heating).
Abstract:
A device for damping runout vibration of a rotating shaft system at least including a rotating shaft and a rotating body rotatably supported by the shaft. A ring (24) is provided outside a bearing (23) fitted on a rotating shaft with a clearance between the ring and an outer ring of the bearing. A vibration damping mechanism includes, in order to suppress runout vibration of a rotating shaft system from the radially outside of the ring (24), a blade spring (25) compressed by a preload and a stopper (26) for setting an operation limit of the blade spring.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a rotor, a shaft or a sample holder for a centrifugal sintering system, and the present invention relates to a ceramic member for a centrifugal sintering system which is a member consisting of a rotor, a shaft or a sample holder for use in a centrifugal sintering system imparting a centrifugal force field and a temperature field to a molded body of ceramics or metal powder or a ceramic precursor film wherein a rotor for turning a sample holder, a shaft or a sample holder is composed of ceramics, to the ceramic member wherein the rotor which turns the sample holder is composed of conductive silicon carbide ceramics and the rotor alone is selectively caused to self heat by induction heating means to indirectly heat the sample, and to the ceramic member wherein the sample holder is composed of a material with a large dielectric loss and the sample holder alone is selectively heated using dielectric heating means to indirectly heat the sample.
Abstract:
When a sintered body of ceramic is shot-blasted at normal temperatures to plastically deform the crystal structure of the shot-blasted surface to apply residual stress and is heat-treated to recrystallize fine cracks, dislocated cells in the grain boundary are formed, crystals are finely divided, and the fracture toughness is significantly improved. When the sintered body of ceramic is a thin product, an effective toughening can be attained by shot blasting both the front and back sides. After heat treatment, mechanical strength is significantly improved by removing a part of the modified surface layer by an abrasion treatment.
