Abstract: Reciprocating mechanical systems, such as pumps and compressors, present a nonuniform dynamic load to the driving motor. These load variations and their interactions with the dynamic characteristics ...

Abstract: Traditionally the mechanical engineering design area of the mechanical engineering discipline has concerned itself with static design concepts. Recently, many university mechanical engineering curricula ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method for synthesizing a four-bar linkage from a slider-crank mechanism using the cubic of stationary curvature of the slider crank. A coupler point on the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simple and direct approach to the problem of the definition of the root profile for standard and nonstandard external spur gear teeth. Equations are developed for the ...

Abstract: A general method is presented for the determination of the minimum number of teeth that can be cut in a spur gear without undercutting by a rounded-tooth tip hob. The minimum number of teeth ...
