    摘要: A method for producing a nonlinear cylindrical spring produced by winding or coiling a spring wire having wire diameters varying over its length, and formed from a blank with a constant diameter. A drum roller shapes the blank and, between the outer lateral surface of an inner rotor driven in rotation about a central longitudinal axis and the inner lateral surface of a drum concentric with the rotor, has an annular gap which tapers continuously from an input side to an output side, the clear opening width of which, viewed in the radial direction, is greater than the diameter of the blank on the input side and equal to or smaller than the minimum wire diameter of the spring wire on the output side, and the blank is shaped by moving it into the annular gap from the input side to the output side.

    摘要: A fault monitoring device for a power system includes: a first parallel circuit of resistors that includes a first branch and a second branch both connected to a high side voltage rail of the power system; and a second parallel circuit of resistors that includes a third branch and a fourth branch both connected to a low side voltage rail of the power system. The second branch includes at least two electrical resistors arranged in series, wherein at least one electrical resistor may be short-circuited by a first switch. The fourth branch includes at least two electrical resistors arranged in series, wherein at least one electrical resistor may be short-circuited by a second switch. A controller is configured to selectively switch the switches to provide for different states of the circuits and determine resistance values for the high side and low side insulation resistances of the power system.

    摘要: A method for determining a shape of a mistuned blade of an impeller includes: providing a nominal blade with radially threaded-on profile elements; providing an initially mistuned blade with profile elements, the mistuned blade having a reduced or increased thickness at at least one of the profile elements compared with the nominal blade; determining the shape of the nominal blade in a hot state; determining the shape of the mistuned blade in the hot state; comparing the two shapes and determining a parameter of the mistuned blade which differs from the corresponding parameter for the nominal blade in the hot state; and changing the value of this parameter for the mistuned blade in the cold state such that the difference between the parameter for the mistuned blade and the nominal blade in the hot state no longer exists.

    摘要: Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft and nacelle devices for VTOL aircraft are disclosed. The nacelle device is connected via a pylon device to a wing of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft and is pivotable relative to the pylon device by a pivoting device about an axis of rotation between a first position, (e.g., a propulsion position), and a second position, (e.g., a lift position). The axis of rotation is arranged within the pylon device and/or the nacelle device, in particular on an axial center plane of the pylon device.
