A shock absorbing component having a pair of surfaces with a plurality of inwardly extending indentations in the top and bottom surfaces. The indentations extend between the surfaces to provide support members for the shock absorbing component. At least some of the indentations are hemispherical. The surfaces may be formed of mesh material to allow the passage of gas or fluid therethrough. One or more inserts may be placed in the indentations. The shock absorbing component can be constructed by molding upper and lower shock absorbing component halves wherein the molds are configured to provide indentations in the top and bottom surfaces. The upper and lower halves are then joined to complete the shock absorbing component.

An elastomeric load bearing surface with different load support characteristics in different directions. In one embodiment, the surface includes an elastomeric membrane that is oriented in only a single direction, for example, by compression or stretching. In another embodiment, the surface includes mechanical structures, such as connectors and variations in thickness that vary the load support characteristics in different directions. In another embodiment, a surface is both oriented and includes mechanical structures.

A collision energy-absorbing device includes a body member connected between the frame assembly of a motor vehicle and a bumper beam. The body member collapses as the bumper beam and the frame assembly are moved relatively toward one another during a vehicle collision. The body member has a first telescoping portion and a second telescoping portion that are connected by a connecting portion. The telescoping portions have different cross-sectional dimensions to enable the telescoping portions to move one within the other into collapsing telescoping relation as the body member collapses with the connecting portion being deformed and received between the telescoping portions. One or more protrusions extending from one of the telescoping portions interfere with relative movement of the other of the telescoping portions to retard movement of the telescoping portions into telescoping relation.

The invention discloses a semi-active energy regenerative suspension shock absorber based on mixed excitation and a size determining method of the shock absorber. The shock absorber comprises an upper hoisting lug, a dust cover, a lower hoisting lug, a hydraulic shock absorber body and a mixed excitation mechanism. The hydraulic shock absorber body provides the constant viscous damping coefficient. The mixed excitation mechanism provides the adjustable electromagnetic damping force and converts vibration energy into electric energy for storage. Meanwhile, the invention provides the size determining method. The model selection of the hydraulic shock absorber body is determined according to the rating requirements, an electromagnetic damping force expression is derived, the primary size of the mixed excitation mechanism is determined through a particle swarm optimization algorithm, finite element analysis is conducted, the gas length is optimized, and the final size is determined. According to the shock absorber and the size determining method, the hydraulic shock absorber body and a mixed excitation cylindrical linear motor are integrated, the damping force is adjustable, energy is recovered in the working process, the structure is simple, the shock isolation performance and the energy regenerative performance of a vehicle suspension are coordinated, and the Fail-safe function is also achieved; and in addition, the size determining method is clear in step, easy to implement and obvious in optimization result, and has high practicalness.

A multilayer damping material for damping a vibrating surface comprising: at least one constraining layer; at least one dissipating layer; and at least one kinetic spacer layer comprising multiple spacer elements. The kinetic spacer layer is arranged between the constraining layer and the vibrating surface, when used for damping the vibrating surface. Each spacer element has opposite ends. At least one end of each of the multiple spacer elements is embedded in, bonded to, in contact with, or in close proximity to the dissipating layer, such that energy is dissipated within the multilayer damping material, through movement of the at least one end of each of the multiple spacer elements.

The invention discloses an anti-vibration bushing assembly, wherein the anti-vibration bushing (14) is axially press-fitted to a rigid cylindrical retainer ( 34) in order to assemble it together. A rigid spacer band (42) in the form of a ring continuous in the circumferential direction and integrally a belt is mounted on the peripheral surface of the outer cylinder member in a state of external fit with axial pressure. The flange of the outer cylindrical part and the end face of the cylindrical holding part are axially contacted by the spacer ring band, and the spacer ring band partially has at least one protruding protrusion (44) on the inner peripheral surface, so as to Fit and fix to the outer cylinder part. The invention also discloses an anti-vibration bushing and a rigid spacer band for the assembly.
