Abstract: The authors developed a valuable method for estimating the impact stress caused by dynamic load head-disk contacts. Based on existing experimental database, they extrapolated the desired radius ...

Abstract: Based on a problem decomposition strategy and a symbolic kinematic loop pattern matching technique, a new method for planar mechanism kinematic analysis has been uncovered. Since this approach ...

Abstract: Automatic mechanism sketching can be considered to be a computational approach for converting the graph representation of a mechanism into its skeleton diagram representation, subject to the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a design for a new tuned gyroscope framework consisting of a heavy rotor supported by a heli-flex suspension. Inherently free of 2ω drift-error, the gyro can be precisely ...

Abstract: A new knowledge-based approach for the synthesis of mechanisms, referred to as Pattern Matching Synthesis, has been developed based on a combination of committee machine and Hopfield neutral ...

Abstract: Hybrid optimization, a new approach to design optimization employing both symbolic reasoning and algorithmic analysis, has been applied to the design of kinematic pairs in mechanisms. This hybrid ...

Abstract: Since techniques for both polygon-to-polygon clipping and polygon-to-object boundary (contour) clipping have been developed, it appears that the visibility problem may exhibit potential for improvement ...

Abstract: The cable dynamic stiffness describes the load–deformation behavior that reflects the cable intrinsic dynamic characteristics. It is defined as a ratio of response to excitation and represents a very similar frequency ...

Abstract: Cable modal parameters (natural frequencies and damping ratios) that represent the cable inherent dynamic characteristics play an important role in the construction, vibration control, condition assessment, and long-term ...

Abstract: The contouring accuracy of a multi-axis machine has a critical effect on the quality of many advanced technology products. One of the best approaches to assessing the contouring performance of ...
