Abstract: To achieve the performance of a mechanism to a higher degree of accuracy requires that the elastic deformations of a member in a mechanism under dynamic loading conditions be taken into ...

Abstract: The problem of two normally intersecting cylindrical shells subjected to internal pressure is considered. The differential equations used for the shells are solved subject to the boundary conditions ...

Abstract: This paper develops a general procedure for solving mechanism problems where intermittent separations and impacts can occur between mating parts. The numerical technique employed to solve the ...
