Abstract: A general method for finding factors common to two polynomials is developed. The process is shown to have immediate application to the removal of multiplicities when attempting to root polynomials. ...

Abstract: An extension of the dynamic synthesis philosophy given earlier [1] for cam follower systems is made in terms of a two-degree-of-freedom model. Three additional dimensionless parameters η, λ, γ ...

Abstract: The dynamic synthesis procedures of Part I are reinforced by qualitative and quantitative results from analysis. The principal concern is for the motion distortion which results from off-speed ...

Abstract: The potential energy storage capabilities of linear springs are integrated with the nonlinear motion of mechanisms to provide approximation of desired counter-loading functions. The approximating ...

Abstract: The analytical formulation from a companion paper is extended to allow the concept of multiply separated positions to be applied to the spring-energy problem. A major change in perspective for ...

Abstract: The potential energy storage of linear springs and the kinetic energy storage of a body in motion are associated with the nonlinear motion of planar mechanisms to provide precision point control ...

Abstract: One of the primary objectives of synthesis is the reduction of the number of controlling parameters facing the designer in the optimization phase of the design process while at the same time ...

Abstract: A mapping which transforms the relative displacements of one object with respect to a reference object into image points has been developed by interpreting the relative displacement in terms ...
