Abstract: The creation of mechanisms according to the separation of kinematic structure and function has been carried out for a class of three-dimensional mechanisms suitable for conversion between rotary ...

Abstract: The method of separation of kinematic structure and function has been used in the development of an optimum variable-stroke engine mechanism for automotive power plants. A systematic search ...

Abstract: The energy loss in cam-follower systems due to friction between moving parts can be a significant contributor to the power loss in machinery. Considering the total number of cam-operated machines ...

Abstract: This paper describes several mechanical balancers, based on the planetary gear trains known as the hypotrochoid and epitrochoid trains, for reducing or eliminating second-order out-of-balance in ...

Abstract: A centrally pivoted crowned circular slider bearing has been analyzed and tested under conditions of incompressible lubrication. In the analysis a variational formulation was used in conjunction ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted on rigid rotors supported on 360° circumferentially grooved journal bearings. The effect of bearing clearance, lubricant inlet temperature, and supply ...

Abstract: Traditional methods of balancing shaking forces and shaking moments in highspeed machinery are well developed and documented. In the case of nonstandard configurations, however, the analytical ...

Abstract: A new mechanism, which we have called the generalized Oldham coupling, has been described. With a circular-arc construction for its projections and grooves, the coupling has been shown to be ...
