Abstract: The coupler point curve of a plane mechanism is a curve that may be described by a series of paired coordinates. An extension of the method of “damped least squares” provides a means for ...

Abstract: A synthesis technique applicable to the three-dimensional mechanisms of the RRGG type to generate specified arbitrary space curves is presented. Specified points which define the curve are to ...

Abstract: One may wish to define the velocity transformation in addition to the displacement transformation for synthesizing a mechanism. The approach presented here is essentially that noted as the “damped ...

Abstract: Magnetic journal bearings are coming into increasing use in industry today. They are primarily used to replace either rolling element or fluid film bearings in rotating machinery. The major ...

Abstract: Magnetic bearings represent a new bearing technology, which has some advantages over conventional fluid film and wiling element bearings for some applications. The paper describes the basic ...
