Damped highly stressed engineering components are disclosed. The disclosed inventive concept provides a method and system for increasing the damping capacity of an engineering system by adding a non-flat solid, highly damped insert to a system component that contributes most to the system's dynamic response. A friction damped insert can either be embedded into the damped components during casting or fastened to the outer surface of the damped component. The insert is made of the single layer of flexible material by forming it into a rigid elongated body. The layer of material can be turned over on itself without folding to create a cylinder or can be folded over a number of times to create a prismatic bar. The layer of material may be shaped into a corrugated panel. The layer of flexible material may have a number of relatively small openings or perforations with a uniform spatial distribution.

A structure-lining apparatus for lining one or more surfaces of a structure formed from curable material cast in a form. The apparatus comprises a plurality of panels. The panels are connected at their respective edges in an edge-to-edge connection to provide a structure-lining surface. A plurality of anchoring components project from the panels into the liquid material during fabrication of the structure. The anchoring components each comprise one or more anchoring features which are encased in the material as the material solidifies to thereby bond the anchoring components to the structure. The plurality of anchoring components comprises one or more connector-type anchoring components for connecting to corresponding connector-type anchoring components on adjacent edges of a corresponding edge-adjacent panel to connect the edge-adjacent panels in an edge-adjacent relationship. The apparatus comprises one or more breakaway components on at least one of the plurality of panels.

A composite member is provided with a bonding member made of a fiber-reinforced resin and a bracket in which the bracket is bonded to the bonding member via a resin. The bracket has a through-hole. The bonding member has a front surface side fiber-reinforced resin sheet and a rear-surface-side fiber-reinforced resin sheet. The front surface side fiber-reinforced resin sheet, the rear surface side fiber-reinforced resin sheet and the bracket are integrally bonded to each other by the resin in a state in which the front surface side fiber-reinforced resin sheet is inserted into the through-hole of the bracket to thereby enhance the bonding strength between the bonding member to the bracket.

A preformed foundation support for a vessel gyro-stabilization system, comprises at least three of a first side support, a second side support, a third side support, and a fourth side support. The side supports define an opening for accommodating at least a portion of a vessel gyro-stabilization system, and the side supports comprise a cuttable portion for custom fitting the preformed foundation support in a vessel. The preformed foundation support structure is installed in the vessel by cutting the cuttable portion of the preformed foundation support for custom fitting the preformed foundation support to the structure support of the vessel. The preformed foundation support structure can be manufactured as a molded fiberglass structure.

A gear box includes a gear box body, and a terminal which is integrated with the gear box body. The gear box body includes a storage portion which stores a gear, a motor insertion portion, recessed in an attachment surface of a motor, and a connector connection portion on the same side as the motor insertion portion with respect to a rotation center of the gear and is open in a direction different from the motor insertion portion. The terminal includes the connector terminal which is exposed to the inside of the connector connection portion, a motor feeding portion which is exposed to the inside of the motor insertion portion, a connecting portion which is in the gear box body and connects the connector terminal and the motor feeding portion, and a fixing tab extending from the connecting portion and exposed to the inside of the motor insertion portion.
