    What kind of actuator/control?

    Hi everyone, I would like to realise simple mechanism in order to make smaller coils of optical fibre starting from a bigger coil. The idea is to use two bearings in order to facilitate the rotation of the two coils. The problem is that I don't want to actuate only the little rising coil...

    Adjustable damping effect

    Hello, what are the advantages of having an adjustable damping effect? I mean, in case of semi-passive dampers, it is possible to adjust the damping effect so to work in different conditions. Why is it good to have the possibility to modify the damping effect (the damping force)?

    Best rubber-like materials for plastic friction dampers

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for some good rubber-like materials to use in a Friction Dampers/Shock Absorbers as the ones used in washing machines. I would like to know what materials is usually implemented to generate friction in these kind of systems, which kind of rubber? If there is one very...

    QUALITATIVE Torque calculation

    Hi everyone. I've a question related to the QUALITATIVE computation of the required torque to make a rotation. The image shows a cross section. Two rigid bodies (hollow cylinder and elliptic base cylinder) and a deformable element are shown. Supposing to know all the mechanical properties...
