... model is derived, which predicts the mechanism piston compliance/stiffness in terms of configuration, geometry, and material parameters. Experimental testing of a prototype and finite element simulation of various designs confirm the validity of the mathematical model. Several particular designs...

...Shun Takai This paper presents the use of a mathematical model in updating a decision maker’s belief before selecting a product/system concept and demonstrates a procedure to calculate the maximum monetary value of such a model in terms of the expected value of information. Acquiring information...

...Jian Wang; Shanming Luo; Yue Wu This paper proposes a method of the preliminary geometric design for gear tooth profiles based on given sliding coefficients. A design procedure is developed and a simplified derivation of the mathematical model of tooth profiles is presented. The characteristics...

..., the mathematical model of the proposed gear is developed. The tooth contact analysis technique is utilized to investigate the kinematical errors of circular-arc curvilinear tooth gear drives under different assembly errors. Contact patterns of the circular-arc curvilinear tooth gear drive are simulated...

... are proposed to describe spherical geometry relationship in meshing. Meanwhile, geometrical characters of the crown rack cutter are derived. Based on this cutter, the accurate mathematical model of noncircular bevel gear tooth profile is deduced, and the determinant criterion for undercutting is presented...

...Zhang-Hua Fong, Associate Professor, A mathematical model of universal hypoid generator is proposed to simulate virtually all primary spiral bevel and hypoid cutting methods. The proposed mathematical model simulates the face-milling, face-hobbing, plunge cutting, and bevel-worm-shaped hobbing...
