Inertial Hysteresis Couplings
This thesis presents the Inertial Hysteresis Coupling (IHC), a new family of variable-slip mechanical couplings/clutches aimed at achieving order-of-magnitude (∼10x) improvements in torque density (torque capacity / coupling diameter) over existing magnetic and fluid options. IHCs leverage combined...
