... Abstract In concurrent work, we introduced a novel robotic package delivery system LIMMS (Latching Intelligent Modular Mobility System). Each of LIMMS’ end effectors requires a small, lightweight latching mechanism for pre-manufactured containers such as cardboard boxes. In order to effectively...

... Abstract This paper presents an operable and practical similarity transplant creation method for creative design of mechanisms and mechanical structures. The theoretical basis and the procedures of this creation method are given. As an industrial example, the process of creation design...

... Abstract The Generalized Reduced Gradient method of numerical optimization is applied in obtaining the reduction of moments and forces transmitted to the frame of a three-dimensional RSSR mechanism. Such a modification of dynamic behavior of the mechanism, or balancing, is achieved...

... 13 06 2012 Creation of novel kinematic structures of mechanisms has been a challenging issue which is usually conducted on experience and intuition. This paper, however, proposes a systematic method for the creative design of mechanism-based products and equipments on the basis...

... 22 05 2009 The procedure of lever mechanisms structuring being the basis of the majority of mechanical systems is complicated and labor-consuming. The generalized structural modules allow to automate and repeatedly to speed up process of lever mechanisms schemes creation and research...

... 19 06 2008 A purely analytical method has been developed for the kinetic (force or kinetostatic) analysis of frictionless planar mechanisms. It employs polar notation of vectors, the principle of conservation of energy and the force equilibrium of the links. Unlike many other methods...

... 19 06 2008 Stability and non-linear dynamics in a complex aircraft brake model are investigated. The non-linear contact between the rotors ands the stators, and mechanisms between components of the brake system are considered. The stability analysis is performed by determining...

... 18 06 2008 In this paper, the application of Rapid Prototyping in fabricating non-assembly robotic systems and mechanisms with inserts is presented. Previous work demonstrated the use of the Rapid Prototype Stereolithography and Selective Laser Sintering techniques to fabricate...
