Abstract: This paper investigates the acoustic and flow performance of an intake system using numerical and experimental techniques. The acoustic and flow performances are characterized by computing the ...

Abstract: A new integrated approach to the design of high speed planar mechanisms is presented. The resulting nonlinear programming formulation combines both the kinematic and kinetostatic synthesis aspects ...

Abstract: A computer amenable symbolic computing approach for the synthesis of six different link and geared mechanisms is presented. Burmester theory, complex number algebra, and loop closure equations ...

Abstract: Drive screw systems are used as linear actuators in a wide variety of machines. For traditional design of drive screw systems, critical speed vibrations limit the maximum output stroke (overall ...

Abstract: This paper presents a closed-form approach, based on the theory of resultants, for deriving the coupler curve equation of 16 8-link mechanisms. The solution approach entails successive elimination ...

Abstract: The displacement analysis problem for planar and spatial mechanisms can be written as a system of multivariate polynomial equations. Elimination theory based on resultants and polynomial continuation ...

Abstract: This paper presents solutions to the function, motion and path generation problems of Watt’s and Stephenson six-link, slider-crank and four-link mechanisms using homotopy methods with m-homogenization. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a closed-form approach, based on the theory of resultants, to the displacement analysis problem of planar n-link mechanisms. The successive elimination procedure presented ...
