The subsequent force-displacement curve is determined by the elastic properties of the tube walls.

In this case, a further property can be incorporated into the force-displacement curve.

The force-distance characteristic can be monitored using envelopes and/ or window methods.

This instrument has an electronically controlled linear valve with which the force/path-of-travel characteristic of the drive means is simulated.

In this manner, a desired dependence of the resorting force exercised on the arm 1 (i.e. a desired force-path dependence) can be achieved or at least approximated in a simple fashion.

The force/travel profile or the force/time profile is characteristic of the execution of a gear speed shifting operation or transmission ratio change in a transmission.

The effect of this is that the compression is initially built up against the outer ring and then against the inner ring of the plastics base, thereby preventing any pinching effect and achieving a linear force/distance pattern and a reduction in the compression force.

From the force path process, only the maximum value is important to determine if the setting process was accurate.

It can be gathered from Fig. 2.72 that the . level of the calculated load bears a good agreement with the quasistatically determined force displacement experimental curves .

A simple measuring step can be used in this way to quickly and reliably identify whether the force path curve of the armature lies in the required region, particularly during the manufacturing of relays on a large scale.

To be able to measure the force path curve of the armature during manufacturing, the relay is held with a fastening fixture 9 while a measuring probe 10 of a sensor S presses against the armature 4.

The magnetic force/travel course is selected such that at LL, the summation force F(1)+F(2)** is markedly greater than at VL, so that stable triggering of the throttle valve in the ASR mode is possible.

Thus, the force-path characteristic of the actuating element 7, and thus, also the displacement of the display element 4 can be set by a corresponding choice of the characteristic of the spring 12 such that the change in the position of the display element 4 rises as linearly as possible relative to the degree of degradation of the overvoltage limiting component 1

In order to obtain an optimal crimp connection, or to ensure the quality of a number of crimp connections made in succession, the force-path curve or force-time curve during a crimp production process is established at very frequent intervals.

This is because the bearing surfaces of the individual bearings are pressed against one another at different times, depending on: the type of bearing, the effective forces, the properties of any lubrication in the bearings, the tools used, the nature of workpieces to be produced, etc. This phenomenon is expressed in the force-path curve or force-time curve by flat areas (changing path or changing time with constant force), or by local minima and discontinuities.

In this variant, the force-path curve or force-time curve during the crimp production process is directly employed to detect an abnormality originating from bearing play that has not been sufficiently eliminated.

In this variant, sensor or sensors for detecting bearing play are also utilised and are generally provided in any case in a crimping press, namely for the force-path curve or force-time curve so as to determine the quality of a crimp connection.

In all of the described embodiments in which an energy-dissipating shiftability of the counter-securement part with respect to the setting unit is provided, the shiftability of the counter-securement part with respect to the setting unit has a defined predetermined or settable force-path course.

Since the force/path characteristic is specified, the voltage gradient can also be evaluated that occurs when the step is being passed over.

Both the force-distance curve of the locking characteristic and the characteristic of the selection lever haptics, for example for a gear box or an automatic transmission, can be designed in this manner only with software and are freely programmable.

In an electro-hydraulic brake, they are part of an actuation unit and allow a suitable force-travel curve and an appropriate damping of the brake pedal.

Therefore, if the above-mentioned force-displacement relationships are combined with the constant force-displacement curve, it is already possible to implement three different segments in the force-displacement relationship.

In order to positively influence the force/distance diagram, the pole tube can be configured with a pole tube cone analogous to the pole core.

For example, a pretensioning element formed as a spring with a substantially constant force-displacement characteristic can be combined with a considerably stiffer element, for instance with a buffer element.

FIG. 7 shows the force path curve for an energy absorption member in accordance with the prior art (thin line) from which it becomes clear that a substantial force must initially be applied to deform the energy absorption member.
