Special Coordinates Associated With Recursive Forward Dynamics Algorithm for Open Loop Rigid Multibody Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The recursive forward dynamics algorithm (RFDA) for a tree structured rigid multibody system has two stages. In the first stage, while going down the tree, certain equations are associated with ...
Perfect Static Balance of Linkages by Addition of Springs But Not Auxiliary Bodies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A linkage of rigid bodies under gravity loads can be statically counter-balanced by adding compensating gravity loads. Similarly, gravity loads or spring loads can be counter-balanced by adding ...
A Comparative Study of the Formulations and Benchmark Problems for the Topology Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The topology optimization problem for the synthesis of compliant mechanisms has been formulated in many different ways in the past 15years, but there is not yet a definitive formulation that ...
