EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF SHELL FLEXIBLE COMPONENT FOR DRILLING VIBRATION DAMPING DEVICES

Results of experimental tests of shell flexible components for drill vibration damping devices are reported. Distributions of radial displacements and annular stresses in the load-bearing link of the device have been obtained. A study has been made of the influence of the length of the bearing shell on the performance characteristics of the device. The experimental damping loops have been constructed.
