    • Guidance of a Rigid Body in a Fixed Track 

      F. Freudenstein; C. W. McLarnan (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      A rigid body in plane motion can be guided by specifying the paths or tracks of two of its points. In general these tracks are distinct. One may, however, ask for the guidance of the plane ...

      A. T. Yang; F. Freudenstein (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      The kinematics, statics, and inertia-force analysis of epicyclic bevel-gear trains have been described. Beginning with the general case of nonparallel, nonintersecting axes, the results are specialized ...

    • Kinematic Geometry Associated With the Least-Square Approximation of a Given Motion 

      Y. L. Sarkisyan; K. C. Gupta; B. Roth (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      The problem of finding the locus of points in a moving plane which best approximate a circle in N positions is studied. The approximation is one which minimizes the deviation of the sum of ...

    • Dwell Motion From Spatial Linkages 

      A. K. Shrivastava; K. H. Hunt (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      The potential of single-loop spatial linkages to produce an output dwell from a rotating input is broadly surveyed. Then three comparatively simple four-bar linkage arrangements are selected, and ...

    • Kinematic Analysis of Plane and Spatial Mechanisms 

      V. K. Gupta (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      A method is presented for the investigation of the kinematics of plane and spatial mechanisms. The kinematic analysis solutions are determined explicitly from the geometric constraints associated ...

    • Kinematics and Statics Including Friction in Single-Loop Mechanisms by Screw Calculus and Dual Vectors 

      M. L. Keler (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      After reviewing the fundamentals of dual-complex vector algebra, a method of accounting for friction in kinematic joints is developed. The method, which is based on an iterative technique, is ...

    • Kinematic Synthesis of Cam Profiles for Prescribed Acceleration by a Finite Integration Method 

      F. Y. Chen (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      In this paper, a new numerical method of finite integration is introduced for synthesizing the cam profile for arbitrarily prescribed acceleration curves. The method is compared with the ...

    • On a Set of Displacements in Space 

      O. Bottema (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      In this paper we study sets of screw displacements in three-dimensional space when the displacements are not uniquely specified. The two cases considered are displacements which transform a row ...

    • Kinematic Synthesis of Adjustable Mechanisms—Part 1: Function Generation 

      Joseph F. McGovern; George N. Sandor (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      One of the major advantages of linkages over cams is the ease with which they can be adjusted to modify their output. Incorporating an adjustment into the design of a linkage makes it ...

    • State Space Characterization of Complex Rigid Body Systems Subject to Control 

      M. A. Townsend (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1973)
      The dynamic equations of systems of rigid bodies are developed as nonlinear, muti-variable control systems in state-space representations. This provides a unified treatment in terms of the general ...
