Abstract: The synthesis of spatial mechanisms is formulated as a mathematical programming problem and solved using a penalty function approach. The objective function as well as the equality and inequality ...

Abstract: A method is presented for the investigation of the kinematics of plane and spatial mechanisms. The kinematic analysis solutions are determined explicitly from the geometric constraints associated ...

Abstract: A method is presented for formulating and solving the Newton-Euler equations of motion of a system of interconnected rigid bodies. The digital simulation may involve numerical integration of the ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a wavelet-based formulation for linearizing a base-excited single-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system to a time-variant linear (TVL) system. The given system is assumed to be ...

Abstract: It is a challenge to assess solder joint fatigue life in the modern electronics industry because of complex geometries, complex non-linear viscoplastic material properties, and the frequently ...

Abstract: The blast-furnace waste generated in steel plants has been converted into a low-cost adsorbent. The resulting activated slag has been characterized and used for the removal of lead and chromium. The effect of pH, sorbent ...

Abstract: The creep behavior of a rotating disc made of isotropic composite containing varying amounts of silicon carbide in the radial direction has been investigated in the presence of a thermal ...
