Abstract: In this paper the ruled surfaces of two rigid bodies that are in contact while moving with a prescribed time-varying angular-velocity ratio are generated. These are then used as the contact ...

Abstract: A novel method of synthesis of the surface geometry of spherical cam-oscillating roll-follower mechanisms is introduced. The approach aims at zeroing the sliding velocity between the cam and the ...

Abstract: The design of a novel transmission for speed reduction is reported in this paper. The transmission is based on the layout of pure-rolling indexing cam mechanisms, for it is intended to eliminate ...

Abstract: The solid modeling of bevel gears has been recognized as a major design challenge. Various approaches have been proposed to approximate the theoretical involute-generated contact surface of bevel ...
