Connecting Rods TRIZ Cases
- Stirling Cooler Flexible Regenerator Drive to Reduce Mechanical Stress
See how spring-type links replace rigid connecting rods in Stirling cooler regenerator drives t
- Vibration damping device
See how a three-articulation radial damper uses variable distance between rotation axes to prov
- Flexible Regenerator Drive for Low-Stress Stirling Coolers
Spring-linked rigid sections drive the regeneration piston with larger clearances, cutting shock, stress, and manufacturing cost in Stirling coolers.
- Carbon Fiber Radius Rod Assembly for Lightweight Suspension Strength
A carbon fiber tube with an inner threaded rod and couplers cuts UTV suspension rod weight while preserving coaxial strength and stability.
- 3D Woven Fibrous Reinforcement for Composite Articulation Ends
A 3D woven fibrous preform varies yarn ratio and end thickness to cut delamination risk, stress concentration, and manual layup effort.
- Variable-Thickness Rigid Connector for Lightweight Force Transfer
A variable-thickness ring around the connector opening improves tensile and compressive load transfer while cutting weight and material use.
- Plastic Spheroid Pin Bush for Lightweight Vibration-Damped Suspension
A plastic spheroid member with rubber lining cuts suspension weight while damping vibration and preserving compressive strength.
- Hollow Chassis Component With Molded Joint Housing Interlock
Deformed end ridges let plastic joint housings lock onto a hollow chassis tube in one step, avoiding extra hole-making, fixed orientation, and added weight.
- Leading-Edge Spindle Steering for Tension-Loaded Off-Road Rods
By moving the steering rod to the spindle's leading edge, this off-road layout shifts loads into tension, reducing leverage and bump steer.
- Maglev Linear-Mass Stabilizer for Low-Noise Vessel Roll Damping
A levitated linear motor mass damps vessel roll and pitch with low noise, minimal maintenance, and no added water resistance.
- Composite Tubular Rod Joint Assembly for Wedge Load Transfer
Segmented inner and outer wedge rings join composite tubular rods without axial installation movement while improving load transfer and weight.
- Connecting Rod Tang Mounting Assembly for Galvanic Isolation
Contact rings with radial flanges isolate a metal tang from CFRP connecting rod arms to prevent galvanic corrosion, cut weight, and aid recycling.
- Clevis-Tang Fixing Assembly With Contact Rings Against Galvanic Corrosion
Contact rings create axial separation in a clevis-tang joint to stop galvanic corrosion, cut cost, and preserve carbon-fiber recyclability.
