Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are disclosed for aircraft wheels and brakes systems for use in, for example, an aircraft. In this regard, a damper for an axle may comprise a solid body defined by a cylindrical outside diameter (OD) surface and an elliptical inner surface configured to be inserted into a bore of the axle, the elliptical inner surface defining a void. The damper may comprise a varying thickness between the OD surface and the elliptical inner surface, the varying thickness including a minimum thickness along a major axis of the inner surface and a maximum thickness along a minor axis of the inner surface. The varying thickness may help to decouple a bending mode along the minor axis from the bending mode along the major axis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A damper for an axle comprising: a solid body defined by a cylindrical outside diameter (OD) surface and an elliptical inner surface configured to be inserted into a bore of the axle, the elliptical inner surface defining a void concentric with the damper, the elliptical inner surface comprising a major axis and a minor axis, wherein a first length of the major axis is greater than a second length of the minor axis, wherein the damper is configured to rotate…
