Simulation as Applied to the Design of Interactive Control Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design of an interactive control system used in the electromechanical transport of an optical reading system was performed, using both analog and digital simulations. Included are laboratory ...
On Predicting the Dynamic Effects of Clearances in One-Dimensional Closed Loop Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dynamic response of a complex one-dimensional system with clearances is considered. It is shown that the presence of the clearances results in a substantial amplification of the internal ...
On Predicting the Dynamic Effects of Clearances in Planar Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The presence of clearances in mechanisms can result in the degradation of the performance of these devices. This question is investigated analytically with particular attention paid to the ...
Dynamic Singularities in Free-Floating Space Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic Singularities are shown for free-floating space manipulator systems where the spacecraft moves in response to manipulator motions without compensation from its attitude control system. At ...
The Application of Finite Element Methods to the Dynamic Analysis of Flexible Spatial and Co-Planar Linkage Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical method is presented for the dynamics of spatial mechanisms containing complex-shaped, flexible links with application to both high-speed industrial machines and robotic manipulators. ...
The Force Workspace: A Tool for the Design and Motion Planning of Multi-Limb Robotic Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Force Workspace (FW) is a tool for designing mobile robotic systems which apply large forces over large ranges of motion. It can also be used to plan motions that do not violate actuator ...
Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems With Clearances—Part 1: Formation of Dynamic Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mathematical model of an elastic mechanical joint with clearances has been formulated and the dynamical equations of motion derived (Part I). The model, which we have called an Impact Pair, ...
Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems With Clearances—Part 2: Dynamic Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The theory developed in Part I has been applied to the determination of the dynamic response of the Impact Pair under various operating conditions. Simulation techniques, as well as approximate ...
An Analytical and Experimental Study of the Acoustical Noise Produced by Machine Links
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Noise from high-speed machine systems is an important engineering design problem. This study investigates a recently developed analytical technique for calculating the noise generated by linkage-type ...
Application of Symbolic Manipulation to Time Domain Analysis of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The digital computer is often used to perform time domain dynamic analyses of non-linear systems. Such analyses are notoriously expensive. In many cases this expense is due to algebraic computation ...
