Abstract: A three-dimensional flexural shaft element is developed for elastic analyses of power transmission shafts and geared systems. It is used for the computer-aided fatigue design of three-dimensionally ...

Abstract: Complete balancing of shaking forces and shaking moments in space mechanisms is the subject of this article. Using real vectors, it presents methods of balancing shaking forces completely in ...

Abstract: A thorough review of the state-of-the-art of determining fatigue life of machine and structural members considering cumulative damage effect under varying stress amplitudes is given. Among the ...

Abstract: The method of determining the static force and torque distributions in space mechanisms by use of the 3 × 3 screw matrix is presented. Transmissivities in favor of rotation and translation, ...

Abstract: General forms of the index ratios in series-connected Geneva mechanisms having single and multiple driving cranks, including the cases of alternately driven slots and internal Geneva mechanisms, ...

Abstract: Article presents the most general form of the mobility equation, and primarily describes general and three types of overclosing constraints. Then, it offers a method of determining numbers of ...

Abstract: Exact elasticity solutions for stresses and deflections (displacements) in curved beams and rings of varying thicknesses are developed using polar elasticity and state of plane stress. Basic forms ...

Abstract: Presently existing strength of materials solutions for stresses in curved beams use an incorrect normal force equilibrium condition to define neutral axis location, and to reach a simplified ...

Abstract: The article presents a general method for the elastodynamic analysis of planar mechanisms. It uses planar actual finite line elements (regular and irregular elements given in a companion article) ...
