Abstract: A general approach to analyze the dynamics of chain-driven systems subjected to transient loads is developed and applied. The method suitable for many automated dynamic analysis techniques involves ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for complete force analysis, including both statics and dynamics, of overconstrained, statically indeterminate spatial mechanisms. Of primary concern is the development ...

Abstract: This paper concerns the development of a procedure for systematic searching for mechanisms, classifying them, and screening for the optimum mechanism structure for wobble-plate engines. It includes ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a basic problem regarding intermittent-motion mechanisms, namely, how to formulate a predicative model for the study of the dynamics of these mechanisms. A mathematical ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to the dynamic balancing of flexible rotors. The unbalance of a rotor is treated as a combination of a number of discrete unbalancing components, which are ...

Abstract: This paper presents the analysis and design of a robotic worktable with a structure based on two platforms connected by three four-bar linkages. The worktable has three rotational degrees-of-freedom ...
