A Closed-Form Solution to the Crank Position Corresponding to the Maximum Velocity of the Slider in a Centric Slider-Crank Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper revisits a classical problem in kinematics, specifically determination of the crank position corresponding to the maximum velocity of the slider in the centric slider-crank mechanism. ...
On a New Approach to Mechanism Topology Identification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper argues that different levels of mechanism topology should be considered in order to make the activity or tool of the computer comparison of mechanism topology more useful to support ...
On Systematic Errors of Two-Dimensional Finite Element Modeling of Right Circular Planar Flexure Hinges
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper discusses the finite element method (FEM) based modeling of the behavior of typical right circular flexure hinges used in planar compliant mechanisms. Such hinges have traditionally ...
Force Balancing of Robotic Mechanisms Based on Adjustment of Kinematic Parameters
