A vehicle hood or a panel covering an object includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface faces the object and is offset from the object by a basin depth. The outer surface is substantially opposite the inner surface. A local energy absorber is operatively attached to the inner surface or is disposed between the inner surface and the object. The local energy absorber has a singly-connected structure, which includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion. The first wall portion is operatively attached to the inner surface. The singly-connected structure also includes a curved connector portion joining the first wall portion and the second wall portion.

Methods for improving adhesion between a shape memory alloy and a polymeric material include functionalizing a surface of the shape memory polymer with a phosphorous containing compound or an organosilane coupling agent. Other methods include surface texturing the shape memory alloy surface, independently or in combination with the functionalization.

One embodiment of a product includes an insert for disposition in or on a component. The insert may have at least one contact surface that can experience relative frictional movement against an adjacent interior surface of the component. The at least one contact surface of the insert may comprise a nominal plane and surface features arranged in a nonstochastic pattern. The insert may also be constructed and arranged for disposition in or on the component to dampen sound when the component is vibrated.
摘要:
A metal sheet for making rigid container products, and a method of making the sheet. The sheet has a fissureless surface that retains minute amounts of lubricant in generally uniformly spaced apart elongated micron-sized depressions, the depressions providing a quasi-isotropic surface texture which, in turn, provides a substantially uniform distribution of friction at the interface of the surfaces of the sheet and a tool employed to form the container products. The depressions, in addition, provide the product surface with a high degree of specular reflection of light and thus a bright surface having a high level of distinctness of an image reflected from the surface.

An article suitable for arc-welded metallurgical bonding having a first part having a lower surface, and a second part having an upper surface is disclosed. The lower surface of the first part is disposed at the upper surface of the second part to provide for a faying surface thereat. The faying surface has a plurality of channels with a depth equal to or greater than about 1 micron and equal to or less than about 1000 microns. The article is suitable for arc-welded metallurgical bonding at the faying surface. The plurality of channels has a repetitive pattern of channels arranged along a path of the faying surface in a direction of the metallurgical bonding action.
摘要:
A bright rolled metal strip product having a surface that contains multiple microscopic raised prows formed by partial back extrusion of strip material into smooth, bowl-shaped depressions provided in a work roll surface. The prows are formed by smearing of the strip surface that results from the relative velocities of the strip and work rolls that occurs when massive reductions are taken in the thickness of the strip by the work rolls.
摘要:
A method of making a strip product having a surface that is both bright and clean after being rolled by work rolls in a roll stand. The work rolls are polished to remove grind lines from the roll surfaces, and the roll surfaces are provided with minute, ovoid depressions having relatively shallow slopes extending in the direction of rolling, followed by steeper slopes at the opposite ends of the depressions. The depressions are created by a laser beam directed against the roll surfaces at oblique incidence to the roll surface normal during relative movement of the beam and roll surfaces. The roll surfaces are then polished to remove any roll material that is raised above the nominal surface of the rolls, the raised material being the result of melting of the roll surfaces and the deposition of roll material vaporized by the laser beam. The strip is reduced in thickness with such textured rolls without substantial micromachining of the surface of the strip such that the generation of wear debris and smudge is minimized in reducing the thickness of the strip.
