...Robert C. Leishman; Kenneth W. Chase Velocity and acceleration analysis is an important tool for predicting the motion of mechanisms. The results, however, may be inaccurate when applied to manufactured products due to the process variations that occur in production. Small changes in mechanism...

...Anand R. Vithani; Krishna C. Gupta, Professor & Associate Dean, One of the fundamental problems arising in kinematics is that of determining object position, velocity and acceleration from given point position, velocity and acceleration data. This type of problem is frequently encountered...

... are controlled completely by four shape functions of acceleration and seven time increments. To simplify the synthesis derivation, normalized function and symmetric function are defined to represent these shape functions. The displacement, velocity, acceleration, and jerk curves are derived in piecewise function...

...Jennifer E. Holte; Thomas R. Chase; Arthur G. Erdman A new approach to the synthesis of planar linkage mechanisms with approximate velocity constraints is proposed. The paper presents the first closed-form complex-number dyad solution to the ground pivot specification problem for two precision...
