Innovative approach for the influence on torsional vibration by the use ofelastomers

The clutch attains beside its role as a linking element in drive technology increasingly in meaning as a system element. In particular the flexible cl utch gaines thereby a great importance in influencing torsional vibration. By the example of a flightship the clutch design under constructional and d ynamic aspects is described. Furthermore a mechanical component is presente d, that gives the characteristic of a frequency-selective damping to the cl utch.
