... stiffness parameters so as to maximize the lowest natural frequency of the mechanism. We show that this leads to a convex programming problem, which is characterized by a global optima that can be found with efficient interior point algorithms. Several case studies involving open and closed chain mechanisms...

...G. Carbone; M. Scaraggi; L. Soria This paper deals with the strongly nonstationary squeeze of an oil film at the interface between the chain pin and pulley in chain belt continuously variable transmission. We concentrate on the squeeze motion as it occurs as soon as the pin enters the pulley groove...

... and some rules for relabeling its vertices canonically, a one-to-one descriptive method, the canonical adjacency matrix set of kinematic chains, is proposed. Another very important characteristic of the descriptive method is that in the canonical adjacency matrix set the element number is reduced...

The location of these vectors of the wrist end-effector is determined by the solution of the direct position analysis of some properly chosen kinematic chains (legs) of the manipulator. In order to accomplish this analysis, extra sensors, which measure...

... translation. This paper deals with the type synthesis of 3-DOF PPR-equivalent PMs. At first, virtual chains are introduced to represent the motion patterns of 3-DOF motions and relevant results from screw theory are recalled. A method is then proposed for the type synthesis of 3-DOF PPR-equivalent PMs. Using...
