Abstract: A model of a general mechanical system, comprising a pneumatic system coupled to a linkage mechanism, is developed. The dynamic system behavior is studied using the digital computer as a design ...

Abstract: The need to limit system vibrations makes the dynamic behavior of flexible highspeed cam-follower systems (as well as other machines subject to periodic motion) an important topic in the design ...

Abstract: An improved technique for the design synthesis of a spring-actuated, cam-follower system is described. Long-hand calculations and a simple graphical technique suffice to design a system to meet ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development of a new hydraulic operator with rapid response (< 0.003 seconds) and high operating velocity (10 m/sec.) to be used in a high voltage DC circuit breaker ...
