    Abstract: A shear section for a rotating arrangement includes an axially-extending shaft having a connection flange and a coupling flange adjacent the connection flange. The coupling flange includes an annular shoulder portion and an elongated neck portion extending axially away from the shoulder portion and disposed concentrically within the shaft. The shear section further includes a plurality of fasteners extending axially through the shoulder portion and the connection flange, and securing the shaft to the coupling flange. Each of the plurality of fasteners includes a shank region and a reduced thickness portion circumscribing the shank region.

    Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a drive shaft includes, a first tube body having one or more first body channels defined through a wall thickness thereof, the one or more channels configured to increase bending and/or axial flexibility of the first tube body while only allowing for a less than proportional reduction in torsional stiffness of the first tube body. A second tube body can be concentrically disposed relative to the first tube body and connected to the first tube body at a first end portion and a second end portion. The second tube body can include one or more second body channels defined through a wall thickness thereof, the one or more channels configured to increase bending and/or axial flexibility of the second tube body while only allowing for a less than proportional reduction in torsional stiffness of the second tube body.

    Abstract: A drive shaft has a central tubular portion formed of a polymer composite with imbedded fibers. It extends between a first end and a second end. The central tubular portion has an outer peripheral surface. There is at least one ring on the outer peripheral surface of the central tubular portion. A method of repairing a composite material tube includes the steps of (a) identifying a damaged area on a composite tube, and (b) placing a patch on a surface of the tube and over the damaged area.

    Abstract: A flexible coupling includes a first flange having an outer edge, a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first plurality of passages. A second flange including an outer edge section, a first surface section, a second surface section opposite the first surface section, and a second plurality of passages. A connecting element extends between and connecting the first flange and the second flange through one of the first plurality of passages and one of the second plurality passages. The connecting element includes a connecting member having a first stop element and a second stop element. A compliant component is arranged on the connecting element. The compliant component is positioned on the connecting member between one of: the first stop element and the first surface; the second stop element and the second surface section; and between the second surface and the first surface section.
