This paper presents a general framework for the motion design of cam mechanisms using
Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS). The follower motion is described by the NURBS …

The follower of cam mechanisms may flexibly perform its movement based on the shape of
the cam element and the direct contact with the cam. With this feature, it is convenient to …

In high speed cam mechanism, dynamic characteristics are issues that are always taken
care since these affect the vibration of cam systems. This paper deals with a knot vector …

In the cam design process, cam motion functions play an important role due to affect not only
kinematics but also the dynamics of the cam-follower systems. However, the selection of …

The synthesis process of cam mechanisms consists of three basic tasks. Besides the
definition of the output motion and the calculation of the cam curvature, one of these tasks is …

Cams are still quite often used in industrial machines. Due to this fact the cams design
process is important in education of design engineering. Based on a student's thesis a …
