Abstract: The dynamic response of a d-c separately excited motor coupled to a general four-bar linkage is investigated. The analysis is formulated by the principles of analytical mechanics resulting in ...

Abstract: Past work in mechanisms synthesis has been primarily position-dependent. Here, the problem of coordinating time and geometric states up to the fourth order simultaneously for several functions ...

Abstract: An analysis of the dynamic response of slider-crank machines is formulated by the principles of variational mechanics. Velocity ratio constraints rather than loop equation constraints are used ...
