Abstract: This paper summarizes a method for modeling the vibration response of mechanical systems whose configuration may vary during operation. A model of adjacent elements which experience relative ...

Abstract: A method is developed for predicting vibration-response characteristics of systems whose configuration changes during operation. A cartesian robot, an example of such a position-dependent system, ...

Abstract: This paper develops a mathematical model of the linearized vibrations of a four-bar linkage with a flexible rocker link and flexible input and output shafts. The model assumes constant input ...
