A Compliance Number Concept for Compliant Mechanisms, and Type Synthesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While much has been contributed to techniques for enumerating and identifying rigid-body mechanisms in the past decades, proportionally little has been accomplished in this regard in compliant ...
A Closed-Form Numerical Method for Calculating the Steady-State Dynamic Response of Rigid-Body Machine Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The rigid-body dynamic response of most single-degree-of-freedom machine systems are known to be governed by second-order, nonlinear, inhomogeneous, ordinary differential equations with variable ...
Member Initial Curvature Effects on the Elastic Slider-Crank Mechanism Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Parametric vibration of initially curved columns loaded by axial-periodic loads has received considerable attention, concluding that regions of instability exist and that excitation frequencies less ...
Effect of Internal Material Damping on the Dynamics of a Slider-Crank Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A study of the effect of internal material damping on the dynamic response behavior of a slider-crank mechanism is presented in this paper. In developing the governing equations of motion, an ...
Steady-State Response of Periodically Time-Varying Linear Systems, With Application to an Elastic Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the development of an efficient and direct method for evaluating the steady-state response of periodically time-varying linear systems. The method is general, and its efficacy ...
A Method for Calculating the Steady-State Dynamic Response of Rigid-Body Machine Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The rigid-body equations of motion for conservative rotating machine systems with position-dependent moments of inertia are found to reduce to a single, second-order, inhomogeneous, nonlinear, ...
Influence of Varying Cam Profile and Follower Motion Event Types on Parametric Vibration and Stability of Flexible Cam-Follower Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method to study parametric stability of flexible cam-follower systems, based on Floquet theory, as well as a closed-form numerical algorithm to compute periodic response of the system, have ...
A Method for the Design of Compliant Mechanisms With Small-Length Flexural Pivots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compliant or flexible-link mechanisms gain some or all of their motion from the relative flexibility of their joints rather than from rigid-body joints only. Unlike rigid-body mechanisms, energy ...
On the Periodic Response of Cam Mechanism With Flexible Follower and Camshaft
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Researchers in recent years have shown a great deal of interest in the study of the dynamic response of cam-follower systems, with one or more of its components treated as being elastic. ...
Parametric Stability of a Two-Degree-of-Freedom Machine System: Part II—Stability Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the equations developed in a companion paper (Part I) are adapted for use in developing stability charts. The nonlinear equations of motion were developed for a two-degree-of-freedom ...
