Abstract: The theory developed in Part 1 has been applied to the determination of the dynamic response of three typical types of intermittent-motion mechanisms, namely, Geneva mechanisms, ratchets, and ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a basic problem regarding intermittent-motion mechanisms, namely, how to formulate a predicative model for the study of the dynamics of these mechanisms. A mathematical ...

Abstract: This paper presents a general theory for the dwell characteristics and for the synthesis of momentary-dwell mechanisms. Dwell conditions are obtained from the simultaneous solution of a set of ...
