Abstract: The mobility or degrees of freedom is a fundamental issue in mechanisms and robotics. In this work, we investigate the mobility of parallel manipulators from a new point of view, and introduce ...

Abstract: Epicyclic gear transmissions have many applications. The internal power flow of epicyclic systems is highly related to the power loss of the system. A systematic method and generic formulas ...

Abstract: A transient non-Newtonian TEHD analysis for dynamically loaded journal bearings in mixed lubrication is developed for direct problem. A mass conserving cavitation is included and viscoelasticity ...

Abstract: Compared with chaotic systems over the real number field, complex chaotic dynamics have some unique properties. In this paper, a kind of novel hybrid synchronizations of complex chaotic systems is discussed analytically ...

Abstract: An analytical expression for the total efficiency of the Simpson gear train is derived using virtual power analysis. This expression is consistent with intuition when the total efficiency is ...

Abstract: Thermomechanical behavior of soils has attracted great attention in recent years because of its great importance in some emerging geotechnical applications such as energy piles. So far, the thermoplasticity (e.g., the ...

Abstract: In high bypass ratio engines, the flow exits the interturbine duct (ITD) and enters the low-pressure (LP) turbine. This paper aims to understand the effects of the boundary layer at the exit of ITD on the endwall secondary ...
