Numerical Solution of a Deep-Drawing Problem
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)A rigid-plastic analysis of the axisymmetric deep-drawing problem is made using a special numerical technique. The effects of work-hardening, friction, and normal anisotropy have been included. ... -
Influence of Nonlinear Wheel/Rail Contact Geometry on Stability of Rail Vehicles
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)Nonlinear behavior caused by wheel flanges, worn wheel treads, and dry friction can have an important effect on rail-vehicle stability. In this paper the influence of such nonlinearities on the ... -
Optimal Cantilever Dynamic Vibration Absorbers
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)This work considers the use of a double-ended cantilever beam as a distributed parameter dynamic vibration absorber applied to a single-degree-of-freedom system in the presence of sinusoidal ... -
Synthesis of Function Generating Spatial Mechanisms With Optimum Structural Error
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)The design of a spatial four-link RSSR mechanism for function generation with optimal structural error is examined. Analytical equations relating the design parameters are obtained by forcing the ... -
Cable Kinking Analysis and Prevention
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)Kinking of electromechanical cables in underwater applications is a continuing design problem. One mechanism for this is the formation of a loop due to the combined action of torsion and tensile ... -
Optimum Synthesis of Multiloop Planar Mechanisms for the Generation of Paths and Rigid-Body Positions by the Linear Partition of Design Equations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)The optimum synthesis of multiloop planar mechanisms for the generation of paths and rigid-body positions employing the linear partition of the design equations is presented. Design equations and ... -
Mechanical Couplings—A General Geometrical Theory, Part 1: Theorems on Algebraic Loci and Couplings
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)In the broad category of couplings considered the two coupled bodies have either one or two relative degrees of freedom. Points, planes, and lines guided by such couplings trace a variety of ... -
Mechanical Couplings—A General Geometrical Theory, Part 2: Examples and Applications of the Theorems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)Having established “feather” as an invariant property of algebraic couplings with connectivity 1, and of some with 2, many examples of its use are now given, in both planar and spatial motion, ... -
Application of Instantaneous Invariants to the Analysis and Synthesis of Mechanisms
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)The objective of this paper is to make instantaneous invariants a more accessible tool for problem solving in the field of kinematics. We present a systematic procedure to determine the ... -
Mechanisms as Components of Dynamic Systems: A Bond Graph Approach
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)In recent years, bond graphs have been used to analyze complex dynamic systems. In this paper a bond graph study is made of the kinematics and dynamics of a general mechanism treated as a ... -
Design and Analysis of Multilink Flexible Mechanisms With Multiple Clearance Connections
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1977)The problem of predicting the dynamic behavior of general planar mechanisms with elastic links and multiple clearance connections is addressed using a perturbation coordinate approach. Particular ... -
