Abstract: Effects of wear and member flexibility on the dynamic performance of a planar five-bar mechanism with joint-clearance are investigated. The equation of motion of the mechanism is derived based on the absolute nodal coordinate ...

Abstract: To enhance the pressure capacity and the life of a pressure vessel, different processes such as shrink-fit and autofrettage are usually employed. For autofrettaged and shrink-fit multilayer ...

Abstract: Effects of flexible body and clearance spherical joint on the dynamic performance of 4-SPS/CU parallel mechanism are analyzed. The flexible moving platform is treated as thin plate based on absolute nodal coordinate ...

Abstract: The influence of the spherical joint with clearance caused by wear on the dynamics performance of spatial multibody system is predicted based on the Archard's wear model and equations of motion of multibody systems. First, ...

Abstract: The dynamic performance of 4-SPS/CU (spherical joint, prismatic joint, cylindrical joint, and universal joint) parallel mechanism considering spherical joint with clearance is developed, and the three-dimensional (3D) wear ...
