  • Patent number: 11761338
    Abstract: A method for producing a vibration-damping structure combination for damping vibrations for movable masses, having a first structure and a further structure, the further structure movable within a stop surface defined by a first structure surface of the first structure. The method includes a) providing the first structure, having the first structure surface and which defines a coating surface of a coating at least in some sections; b) coating the first structure surface of the first structure with the coating, the coating surface of the coating being applied such that a cavity is formed; c) filling the cavity with the filler; d) curing the filler until the further structure having a further structure surface is formed, which lies against the coating surface; and e) removing the coating, the further structure thus being movable relative to the first structure within the stop surface defined by the first structure surface.

  • Publication number: 20200173287
    Abstract: A functional structure for use in an energy converter and/or a turbomachine. The structure includes a lattice with at least one lattice cell, having lattice nodes and lattice connecting elements connected to the lattice nodes, the lattice cell also having a gyrating mass which is connected to the lattice nodes by at least one arm, the gyrating mass being designed to receive mechanical energy when the structure is in use. A lattice constant of the lattice cell has a dimension of less than 100 mm.

  • Publication number: 20190151974
    Abstract: A method for joining materials, includes: providing a first material and a second material, providing the first material with a grid structure at a joining point, and joining, in particular soldering, the second material to the grid structure such that a material composite of the first material and the second material is produced, wherein the grid structure is designed in such a way that stresses in the material composite are at least partly compensated by the grid structure.
