... for transmission error is established. The role of profile relief is analyzed by using Fourier series and it is shown that transmission error fluctuations depend on a very limited number of parameters representative of gear geometry and profile relief definition. An original direct solution to the optimum relief...

...Yukio Takeda; Gang Shen; Hiroaki Funabashi For kinematic calibration of robots, we proposed using a low order Fourier series obtained by transforming the data for circular measurement paths. The errors of the realized paths were measured using a Double-Ball-Bar (DBB) system. Two nondimensional...

.... The describing equation that governs the ICM cam design, is shown to be a second-order, nonlinear, ordinary differential equation. It is solved by parameterizing its solution as a finite Fourier series, the coefficients of which are determined through a nonlinear least-squares problem. Based on this methodology...
