Abstract: A number of new cam profiles of the dwell-rise-dwell type have been proposed by different researchers in the past two decades. They were claimed as efficient cam curves suitable for high-speed ...

Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of a cam-actuated system whose follower mass is coupled with a nonlinear pneumatic mechanism of hysteretic type are investigated using a lumped-parameter model. The ...

Abstract: An algebraic method is presented for synthesizing the four-bar crank-rocker mechanisms in general, with the offset slider-crank mechanism as a special case, for coordinating the prescribed input ...

Abstract: The cam-and-follower mechanism is represented by a lumped parameter model of finite degrees of freedom, in which nonlinear system parameters may be taken into account. An approximate dynamic ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new numerical method of finite integration is introduced for synthesizing the cam profile for arbitrarily prescribed acceleration curves. The method is compared with the ...

Abstract: The dynamic responses of the cam-driven mechanism are investigated, based on a non-linear lumped system model. The nonlinearity is an energy-dissipating element which consists of viscous, quadratic, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the application of Marquardt’s least squares compromised scheme to the synthesis of mechanisms for generating functions. Examples are given for synthesizing the planar four-bar ...
