Abstract: A dynamic analysis has been developed of a universal joint with manufacturing tolerances. The results, which represent an extension of the earlier work of Fischer and Freudenstein [2], permit ...

Abstract: The theory has been developed for the design of a new mechanical component: variable-ratio chain drives with noncircular sprockets and minimum slack. The theory is based on a kinematic ...

Abstract: The global analysis is very important for a nonlinear dynamical system which possesses a chaotic saddle and a nonchaotic attractor, especially for the one that is driven by a noise. For a random dynamical system, within ...

Abstract: The exit problem and global stability of a nonlinear oscillator excited by an ergodic real noise and harmonic excitations are examined. The real noise is assumed to be a scalar stochastic function of an n-dimensional ...

Abstract: This article presents a fully three-dimensional numerical study on the process of melt pool evolution. To overcome the simplifications used in many existing studies, an enthalpy method is developed for the phase change, ...
