Abstract: The finite kinematic geometry of the Bennett mechanism is explored in this paper. The screw axes of all possible coupler displacements of the mechanism from any given configuration are shown ...

Abstract: Geometrical interpretations of two line-based formulations of successive finite displacements, Dimentberg’s formulation and a linear formulation, are discussed in this paper. The interpretations are ...

Abstract: The finite displacements of the outermost body of a revolute-revolute chain are investigated. All possible screws of the finite twists of the outermost body of an R-R chain are shown to form ...

Abstract: A study has been made to analytically determine the angular precession and critical speeds of two-bearing machines with overhung weight. The gyroscopic moment (when rotating), rotatory inertia ...

Abstract: In a previous paper, the correspondence principle has been applied to derive the differential equations of motion of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams with or without external viscous damping. To ...

Abstract: The correspondence principle has been applied to derive the differential equations of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams with external viscous damping. These equations are solved by Laplace transform ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the mechanism of ice-lifting from a flat surface through penetration of the interface by means of a sharp blade. We first considered a static case in which the ...
