Greg Field Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 You'd be remiss if you did not consider the THERMAL INERTIA of the pucks. Also the diffusivity of the vanes on the cush plate. Maybe copper plate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ratchethack Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Don't ever do anything to the pucks without knowing the durometer numbers first. That would be nothing but naked speculation, and silly beyond comprehension. Except if you wrap them in duct tape -- then it's OK. No measurements needed. It's the universal Magic Third World cure-all, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Field Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Those of you who believe in this durometer nonsense should take a long, hard look at the design of those wedges, and if you know your stuff you will see that they were designed to act as a progressive spring, rendering the modulus less important than you believe it to be.

Since when to progressive springs have no modulus? And if drilling the pucks [removing material] is like cutting off loops of a spring [removing material], why does that make the pucks more compliant and springs less so? Inquiring minds want more obfuscation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Field Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It's where you drill that makes the difference. There are different leverage ratios at work along the length of the wedges, and also the thickness of the material changes in two planes along the length.

dlaing Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 So then you must be saying that precisely drilled square drill bit drilled holes have a positive effect on the viscous momentum and modulus of the thermo-elastic matrix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
