In this paper, a method for directly defining RANCF elements is proposed for circular arc geometric configurations. In this method the nodal coordinates and weights can be expressed directly by the position coordinates of geometric configurations. By utilizing position coordinates in defining RANCF elements for a geometric configuration, it becomes easier to adjust continuity conditions between elements and apply constraint equations during the preprocessing phase before simulation initiation. As a result, there is no longer a need to use knot multiplicity in NURBS representation to adjust continuity conditions. To address the arbitrary and diverse definitions of RANCF elements, a parameterization method for RANCF elements is proposed, along with an assessment criterion and an optimal parameterization method for RANCF circular arc elements. Numerical examples are presented to compare the performance of various parametric RANCF circular arc elements. The results demonstrate that convergence can be achieved by using fewer optimal parametric elements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49845,"journal":{"name":"Mechanism and Machine Theory","volume":"203 ","pages":"Article 105811"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142441319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a four-point-mass model is used to represent the rigid body dynamics, avoiding the use of rotational coordinates. Therefore, the nonlinear inertial terms do not appear explicitly in the formulation. However, there are constant distance constraints between the point masses. The velocities of the point masses are obtained by solving the dynamics with this model. The angular velocity of the rigid body can be calculated from such velocities. Then, the kinematic problem is solved using the rigid body representation that fully embeds the constant distance constraints. Thus, the proposed approach can improve the accuracy of the dynamic problem with unilateral contact since the nonlinear inertial terms do not enter the formulation explicitly. The constraints appear explicitly in the dynamics representation, but they are linear there.

This paper addresses this challenge by introducing two explicit criteria for analyzing and synthesizing planar overconstrained mechanisms. With the criteria, one may synthesize new planar overconstrained systematically and confidently. To create new planar overconstrained mechanisms, three approaches are employed: the parallelogram-aided approach, the stretch-rotation approach, and an optimization-based method. Given that the mobility of mechanisms is independent of the choice of the ground link and that the mathematical treatment of function generation is straightforward, this paper proposes a systematic approach for synthesizing novel function cognates. By combining these approaches, new types of overconstrained mechanisms are discovered. Leveraging advanced computational tools, a special geometric condition for function cognates of inverted slider cranks is found for the first time. Through inversion, the coupler cognates for slider cranks are also identified. The success of these results indicates that the proposed criteria are explicit and crucial for discovering new mechanisms, and the concept may be extended to spherical or spatial cases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49845,"journal":{"name":"Mechanism and Machine Theory","volume":"203 ","pages":"Article 105801"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces a novel instantaneous multi-teeth contact model that integrates a loaded tooth contact analysis model with dynamic displacements. A rigid-flexible coupling dynamic model of PGTS that accounts for platform motions is established, and then an efficient iterative solution scheme is developed. The model is validated using the Finite Element Method, and gear mesh characteristics of PGTS are thoroughly analyzed. Simulation results show that resonance exacerbates dynamic gear meshing force and stiffness fluctuations, leading to significant deviations from static values.
