Abstract: The foundations for an expert system shell for implementing mechanical design applications are presented in this paper. The shell supports facilities for knowledge acquisition, quasi-reactive ...

Abstract: By combining complex number methods of synthesis [1] with graphical techniques, an adjustable, planar, four-bar path generating mechanism can be synthesized to produce symmetrical coupler curves ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a symbolic notation for describing two degree-of-freedom spur planetary gear trains with the configuration of two central gears, one carrier or arm, and at least one planet ...

Abstract: The rack and gear mechanism is synthesized for generating four prescribed path points with input coordination. This mechanism has a number of advantages over the well-known four-bar linkage. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the synthesis of the RSSR-SS path generating spatial mechanisms. The method of solution involves the Selective Precision Synthesis technique to formulate the equality and ...
