Abstract: A tension-torsion strap includes a first spindle and a second spindle, which are spaced apart from each other, such that the first and second spindles are positioned at opposite ends of the tension-torsion strap, a winding formed of a filament wrapped about the first and second spindles a plurality of turns, the winding extending between and connecting the first and second spindles and being positioned within a cavity formed circumferentially about each of the first and second spindles, and a protective layer covering the winding, which is formed according to an arched winding pattern, a portion of the winding extending outside boundaries of the cavity defined by the inner wall and the lateral walls, such that an outer surface of the winding has an arched, or curved, profile.

Abstract: Elastomeric journal bearing assemblies, systems, and methods are provided in which and at least one structural element is arranged between adjacent pairs of a plurality of elastomer sections arranged about a center axis. In such arrangements, the disclosed assemblies, systems, and methods redistribute stresses throughout the depth of elastomeric journal bearing more efficiently than conventional configurations.

Abstract: An isolation mount for supporting and isolating one part from another includes an inner member formed to be connected to one of the parts and an outer member formed to be connected to one of the parts. The inner member has a first and a second inner plates being connected at one end and extending at a first angle with respect to each other; the outer member also has a first and a second outer plates being connected at one end and extending at a second angle with respect to each other. The isolation mount further includes a first and a second individual elastomeric element compressed between respective inner and outer plates.
