Computer-Aided Mechanism Design: Now and the Future
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current status of computer-aided design of mechanisms is reviewed. The available software is described and several industrial examples are presented to illustrate current trends in the field ...
Discussion: “Finite Kinematic Synthesis of a Cycloidal-Crank Mechanism for Function Generation” (Kramer, S. N., and Sandor, G. N., 1970, ASME J. Eng. Ind., 92, pp. 531–535)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Sensitivity Distribution in the Synthesis Solution Space of Four-Bar Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the sensitivity to tolerances of four-bar linkage link angles in terms of two nondimensional quantities σ and τ. The traces of these quantities are then plotted in the ...
Analysis of a High-Speed Flexible Four-Bar Linkage: Part I—Formulation and Solution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Derived from the principle of virtual displacement, a general finite element analysis computer code (FEMAP) of the flexible four-bar linkage is developed on the Apollo computer. In this part, ...
Analysis of a High-Speed Flexible Four-Bar Linkage: Part II—Analytical and Experimental Results on the Apollo
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: By using the equations of motion derived from the virtual displacement [1], a general finite element analysis computer code FEMAP (F our-bar E lastic M echanism A nalysis P rogram) for the ...
A Unified Approach for the Dynamics of Beams Undergoing Arbitrary Spatial Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A unified approach to systematically derive the dynamic equations for flexible bodies is proposed. This approach is not limited to a particular definition of the field of kinematic representation ...
Discussion: “Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems With Clearances—Part 2: Dynamic Response” (Dubowsky, S., and Freudenstein, F., 1971, ASME J. Eng. Ind., 93, pp. 310–316)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Singular Conditions and Solutions of the Standard Triad Displacement Equation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the dimensional synthesis of a standard planar triad, if the prescribed angular displacements of two of the three links are the same at all precision positions or the prescribed angular ...
A Design Methodology for System Parameters Synthesis of Elastic Planar Linkages: Theory
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Existing formulations predict the displacement and stresses in multi-body systems that result from known system parameters. In contrast, the proposed design methodology enables structured selection ...
A Design Methodology for System Parameters Synthesis of Elastic Planar Linkages: Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present paper describes the applicability of inverse design equations in conjunction with dynamic finite element analysis and design sensitivity features for multi-body dynamics. Whereas in ...
