Abstract
A surface connection between mechanical components having intermediate deformable elements between the connected contact surfaces, shaped as segments of solid or hollow cylinders with straight or curvilinear axes and their cross sections are compressed in the radial direction during assembly of the connection, thus allowing for adjustments of relative positioning of the connected components, for compensating dimensional imperfections, and for enhancement of stiffness and/or damping of the connection.
