Abstract: Two suitably matched Geneva-wheels driven in series are proposed to convert uniform rotary motion to intermittent rotary motion. The suggested mechanism is simple, and its kinematic characteristics ...

Abstract: An analytical expression is derived for the total cost of equipments, including initial capital cost and the present value of the inflation escalated cost of the expected failures throughout ...

Abstract: The upper bound of the average ram pressure, based on an assumed radial flow velocity field, is derived for plane strain extrusion. Ram pressures are calculated for a complete range of reduction ...

Abstract: A spacecraft-manipulator system is considered in this paper. Dynamic singularities are the singularities occurring when inverting the system generalized Jacobian required by the conventional method ...

Abstract: Five methods for determining screw parameters of finite rigid body motion, using position data of three noncollinear points, are compared on the basis of their efficiency, accuracy, and sensitivity ...

Abstract: Five methods are outlined in this paper for determining the screw parameters of the instantaneous motion of rigid bodies from given velocity and position data of three noncollinear points. The ...

Abstract: The manipulator considered in this paper consists of a flexible link and a flexible joint. The coupling effect between link and joint deflections is investigated. The dynamic equations for the ...

Abstract: A numerical method based on the modified Hencky and Geiringer equations is described for solving plane-strain metal flow problems of strain-rate sensitive materials. The slip-line field and ...
