Abstract: An improved mathematical model of a mechanism is described whereby the elastic deformations of its links are determined. A method of solving for these deflections is presented along with examples ...

Abstract: Techniques for the solution of linear matrix differential equations have previously been applied to the dynamic analysis of a mechanism. However, because the mechanism changes geometry as it ...

Abstract: Previous work on the analysis of elastic link mechanisms has been enlarged upon so as to include the effect of intermittent separation and impact between members. A cam-driven valve train is ...
