A vibration-damping sub is provided to mitigate shock and other sources of vibration in a tool string. In examples, a tubular damping body is rigidly coupled between a vibration-sensitive tool and a vibration source. The tubular damping body includes a tubular wall defining a plurality of shaped holes configured to dampen the mechanical vibration to below the design threshold for the vibration-sensitive tool. The tubular damping body may also include different portions having different materials and impedances to further disrupt the propagation of mechanical waveforms.

Provided are a bracket for an anti-vibration device, and a method for manufacturing the same, in which increase of weight and peeling of a reinforcing portion are suppressed. A bracket (1) has: a reinforcing portion (20) extending in a surrounding direction of the surrounding portion (10), having ends (21) in both directions of the surrounding direction, and being fixed to an outer surface of the portion (10); and ribs (30) formed on an outer circumference of the portion (10) so as to span the ends (21) of the reinforcing portion (20) in the surrounding direction of the portion (10). The portion (10) and the ribs (30) are made of synthetic resin. A method for manufacturing the bracket (1) includes a step of injecting synthetic resin serving as the portion (10) and the ribs (30) into a mold cavity where a reinforcing member serving as the portion (20) is set.

The present disclosure discloses an electromagnetic multistage adjustable variable inertance and variable damping device. Iron cores are magnetized by winding electromagnetic coil windings outside the iron cores and applying an electric current action to the electromagnetic coil windings, and air gap magnetic fields are generated by the magnetized iron cores and permanent magnets in air gaps to cause the variation of shear damping forces between a driving shear plate and magnet yokes and between driven shear plates and magnet yokes, which avoids that the mechanical properties of an inerter cannot be fully utilized due to the friction caused by mutual contact among parts, thereby realizing multistage real-time adjustability of an instance coefficient and a damping coefficient of the device.
