RISCurvature Analysis of Surfaces in Higher Pair Contact—Part 1: An Analytical Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the analytical investigation is done to evaluate the normal and principal curvatures of contacting surfaces in higher pair contact. The velocity ratio of the members connected ...
Curvature Analysis of Surfaces in Higher Pair Contact—Part 2: Application to Spatial Cam Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper curvature analysis is performed for different three-dimensional cam mechanisms. In every case the expressions for principal curvatures of the cam surface are given in closed forms ...
Analysis and Synthesis of Mechanical Error in Linkages—A Stochastic Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A stochastic model of the four-bar linkage considering tolerances and clearances is made. The mechanical error is analyzed for the three-sigma band of confidence level. The effectiveness of the ...
Mechanical Error Analysis of Spatial Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper the effect on the output error of function-generating spatial linkages due to tolerances on the links and clearances at the hinges is analyzed. Tolerances on link lengths are ...
