The widespread use of molecular-level motion in key natural processes suggests that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of synthetic …

Purpose–To design a reconfigureable flexible fixture for the assembly of a set of sheet metal
automotive body parts. Reconfigureable fixturing permits different parts to be grasped for …

This book allows readers to expand the versatility of AutoCAD design and documentation
software. It provides ready-to-use procedures and computer programs for solving problems …

An investigation was performed with three main objectives. Determine the configuration and
operating parameter of a low temperature difference Stirling engine (LTDSE) that would …

Cam design is a fundamental part of the Mechanism and Machine Theory (MMT) and is
included in the vast majority of MMT books. Cam profile design is usually determined with …

Legged off-road vehicles exhibit better mobility while moving on rough terrain. Development
of legged mechanisms represents a challenging problem and has attracted significant …

The present paper addresses the derivation of a 3 DOF mathematical model of a spherical
pendulum attached to a crane boom tip for uniform slewing motion of the crane. The …

An experimental study has been executed with two main objectives. The applicability of the
second order modeling approach for low thermal source temperature Stirling engines was …

This paper studies the bond graph model of a robotic leg mechanism, and discusses
methods of extracting significant features of system dynamics through simpler models. The …

This paper presents a new design concept for a morphing triangle-shaped compliant
mechanism. The novel design is a bistable mechanism that has one changeable side …
