Abstract: The volume swept out by a moving 3-dimensional (3-D) solid has been recognized as important for the simulation of interference between moving solids. Its use has been proposed for the detection ...

Abstract: The authors propose an approach that uses coordinate measurements of the real surface to: (a) determine the real applied machine-tool settings, (b) determine the deviations of the real surface ...

Abstract: The design of spiral bevel and hypoid gears that have a shaft extended from both sides of the cone apex (straddle design) is considered. A main difficulty of such a design is determining ...
