This paper investigates vibration suppression potentials for a novel frictional system - a wave spring. Two different types of wave springs, crest-to-crest and nested ones, were used in this work. Compared with nested wave springs, crest-to-crest wave springs have lower damping and a larger range for the linear stiffness due to a reduced level of contact.

For example, where space is limited, the innovative design of the wave spring ensures that the same amount of force as a compression spring is produced at 50% of the operating height. Due to the layered design, only one spring is needed, whereas with alternative springs, such as stacked disc springs, several are needed to provide the same effect. In addition, the design of the spring can be.

WAVE has been spearheading social change since its formation in 1999. One way we do this is by continuous global research into latest science and best practice. The very high volume of research precludes us from placing it on this site. Analysing global research into the root causes of social problems and translating findings into concise and simple English for busy policymakers and.

A Smalley Wave spring offers the unique advantage of space savings when used to replace coil springs. Wave springs advantages: Reduced spring height by up to 50%; Same force and deflection as coil.

The aim of this review is to provide an overview over the current state of research in the field of wave and tidal current energy. Further research and innovation in the area of technology is the prerequisite to tap the full potential of ocean energy. According to, technological barriers represent the most important issue that the ocean energy sector needs to address in the short-medium term.

This paper deals with finite element based modeling and simulation of load deflection characteristics of wave washer spring. The wave springs have linear load deflection characteristics.

This paper presents an improved experimental equation for representing wave spring behaviors. Wave springs were widely used for automobile automatic transmission and have to be precisely controlled. In fact an experimental equation was provided by mechanical design handbook. However the accuracy of the equation is not suitable. Therefore we tried to optimally modify correction factor K used in.
