Abstract: In this paper the optimality criterion technique transplanted by Khan and his coworkers into mechanism design and the kinematical refinement technique proposed by the authors are combined into ...

Abstract: The planetary indexing cam mechanism is a type of indexing cam mechanism that employs planetary transmission structure. The mechanism is unusual compared to other planar cam mechanisms for the ...

Abstract: This work investigates the influence of the pole/slot combination on the elastic wave deformation of permanent magnetic motors. To this aim, the local wave superposition and distributed wave ...

Abstract: This study focuses on the steady-state periodic response of supercritically transporting viscoelastic beams. In the supercritical speed range, forced vibrations are investigated for traveling beams ...

Abstract: Energy performance contracting (EPC) overcomes the financial and risk barriers hindering energy conservation. The public building sector possessing the energy-intensive nature embraced this mode but is far from its market ...
