Abstract: Constrained dynamic equations of motion of serial multibody systems consisting of rigid bodies in a serial kinematic chain are derived in this paper. First, the Newton-Euler equations of motion ...

Abstract: This paper deals with phase change material (PCM), used in conjunction with thermal conductivity enhancer (TCE), as a means of thermal management of electronic systems. Eicosane is used as PCM, ...

Abstract: Euler angles describe rotations of a rigid body in three-dimensional Cartesian space, as can be obtained by, say, a spherical joint. The rotation carried out by a spherical joint can also be ...

Abstract: The optimization of cam mechanisms with translating flat-face followers, upon consideration of curvature constraints, is discussed here. When minimizing the size of the cam disk, cam profiles ...

Abstract: This paper follows an accompanying one on the constrained minimization of cam profiles with translating flat-face followers. Here, the corresponding problem for oscillating flat-face followers is ...
