Title: Mamoru Taniuchi: Innovator in Vibration-Damping Technology
Introduction
Mamoru Taniuchi is a notable inventor based in Kobe, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of vibration-damping materials, holding a total of 4 patents. His innovative approaches have led to advancements in manufacturing techniques and material applications.
Latest Patents
Taniuchi's latest patents include a method of manufacturing and using vibration-damping material. This invention involves a truss type extruded aluminum section formed of a pair of planar plates and ribs. Hollow portions are created within the section by the ribs and the planar plates. Vibration-damping resin is applied to the inner surfaces of these hollow portions, particularly on the inner surface of the planar plate and on a single surface of the inclined rib. This design allows the vibration energy that bends the planar plate and rib to be converted into heat energy. To facilitate the insertion of the vibration-damping resin into the hollow portion, the resin is adhered to a plastic film, forming a long planar body. The plastic film acts as a cover or adhesive. Additionally, when directly inserting the vibration-damping resin sheet, it is embossed on the adhesive-bonding side to allow air to escape. If an age-hardening type aluminum alloy is used, the adhesive-bonding for the vibration-damping resin is performed alongside the heat treatment for age-hardening.
