Abstract: It has been difficult to manufacture a large-capacity transformer having a laminated iron core structure using an amorphous alloy material easily. A laminated iron core structure includes a laminated iron core configured by aligning a plurality of laminated iron core blocks each configured by laminating iron core materials in a direction different from a lamination direction, a first frame extending along an outer periphery of the laminated iron core and a partition plate arranged between the plurality of laminated iron core blocks.

Abstract: A frictional dynamic characteristic measuring apparatus for measuring a pressing force and a frictional force acting between a friction material as a specimen and a slide portion which are in sliding contact, includes a sliding speed changing device for forcibly changing a sliding speed of the friction material and the slide portion, which is changing in a self-excited manner at a resonance frequency of a resonance system including the friction material and the slide portion, at the resonance frequency of the resonance system. This apparatus enables evaluation of a friction material which absorbs self-excited vibration in a torsional vibration system without the need of additional evaluation in an actual machine for use.
