Abstract: A methodology is presented where noncircular gears are used to reduce unwanted torque and speed fluctuations that may exist in rotating shafts. A noncircular gear pair is used to drive an ...

Abstract: A variable-non-circular gear pair is introduced to achieve 2-dof (degree of freedom) function generation. Included is a mechanism where two independent input parameters (angular positions) uniquely ...

Abstract: The evolution of the geometry of a simple two-dimensional circular cam as a result of wear is studied using three complementary approaches: a closed form analytical expression, a computer ...
