Abstract: Three laws of gearing are presented in terms of a three link 1-dof spatial direct contact mechanism. The first law of gearing defines the instantaneous relationship between an infinitesimal ...

Abstract: The geometry of a gear pair depends on the center distance and the included angle between the two axes of rotation along with the axial positions of the toe and heel (face width). During ...

Abstract: Mechanical Design of Machine Elements and Machines: A Failure Prevention Perspective by Jack A. Collins, John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Abstract: Presented are three equations that are believed to be original and new to the kinematics community. These three equations are extensions of the planar Euler–Savary relations (for envelopes) to ...

Abstract: It is with great pleasure that we introduce this issue of the Journal of Mechanical Design entirely dedicated to the Design of Direct Contact Mechanisms. This is a first for JMD both as an ...
