A closure package for a vibration damper may include a base body that is connectable to a damper tube and comprises a first end and a second end. The first end forms an end side of the damper tube and the second end is disposed in the damper tube. A seal for sealing a piston rod may be disposed in the base body. A seal holder may be disposed between the seal and the base body at the first end. The seal holder for axially fixing the seal may be connected to the base body in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner. The seal holder may be fusible in an emergency. For releasing the connection to the base body, the seal holder may be thermoplastically deformable upon overheating of the vibration damper.

A method for monitoring a shock strut may comprise measuring a first shock strut pressure, measuring an ambient temperature, measuring a shock strut stroke, measuring a second shock strut pressure, and determining a servicing condition of the shock strut based upon the first shock strut pressure, the ambient temperature, the shock strut stroke, and the second shock strut pressure, wherein the servicing condition indicates whether it is desirable for the shock strut to be serviced with at least one of a liquid and a gas. The first shock strut pressure and the shock strut stroke may be measured before the takeoff event with a weight of an aircraft supported by the shock strut.

A gas pressure spring is provided including an expanding wax as a compensating medium for reducing a temperature dependency of a spring force of the gas pressure spring in an operating temperature range of the gas pressure spring spanning a minimum temperature of 40 C. to +10 C. up to a maximum temperature of +40 C. to +100 C. The expanding wax includes at least one liquid phase and at least one solid phase in the entire operating temperature range, the expanding wax comprising a number of primary alcohols. Also provided is a drive system for a flap including a gas pressure spring for supporting the flap, and an electromechanical drive for driving the flap.

A computer of an active vibration damping device calculates operation command values for an actuator from rotation information of a drive source, and corrects the operation command values in accordance with an internal temperature of the actuator. The computer applies a drive voltage to the actuator using a voltage duty ratio based on the corrected operation command values. The computer also estimates the internal temperature on the basis of an average duty ratio as an average of the voltage duty ratios in a predetermined interval.

The present invention provides a rubber composition for anti-vibration rubber which can achieve a balance of a low dynamic magnification and a high dampening property when it is made into an anti-vibration rubber, as well as provides an anti-vibration rubber obtained from the rubber composition for anti-vibration rubber as a raw material. The object can be solved by a rubber composition for anti-vibration rubber, including: when a rubber component included in the rubber composition is assumed to be 100 parts by mass, 10 to 30 parts by mass of a polystyrene butadiene rubber; and 40 to 00 parts by mass of at least one kind selected from the group consisting of a natural rubber and a polyisoprene rubber. It is preferable to provide an anti-vibration rubber formed through vulcanization of the rubber composition for anti-vibration rubber, and that it has a peak of tan at 10 C. or more.

A method for stabilizing transversal oscillations of a rotor including the steps of acquiring a first signal representing a value of transversal oscillations of a rotor; estimating a value of a thermal gradient from the first signal; computing a value of an actuation parameter from the value of thermal gradient; emitting an actuation signal representing the value of the actuation parameter.

A computer of an active vibration damping device calculates an output average duty ratio which is used for realizing operation command values. On the basis of the operation command values and an integer value point number, which is set so as to become larger as a period of rotation of the drive source becomes longer, the computer calculates a reference average duty ratio for realizing the operation command values when an actuator internal temperature is a reference temperature. The computer calculates the actuator internal temperature on the basis of a deviation between the output average duty ratio and the reference average duty ratio.
