Abstract: A general, systematic procedure for the synthesis and analysis of cams is presented. The method accounts for the nonrigid behavior of the follower system and can be readily implemented as a ...

Abstract: The application of spline functions to the general synthesis of cam motion programs is presented. The approach provides a single, systematic, easily automated method of accommodating discrete ...

Abstract: A procedure employing rational B-spline functions for the synthesis of cam-follower motion programs is presented. It differs from earlier techniques that employ spline functions by using rational ...
