... using all joint information is further developed in this paper, as well as the involved elastic system. This approach with considerable compensation effect is simple in principle, and the ZFL property is precisely and completely realized by commercial springs. Compared with the previous method...

... demonstrated that the proposed mechanism, combining self-excited vibrations by magnetic nonlinear springs and one-way clutches, achieves the desired behavior based on the PDT principle and is capable of power transmission at several velocity ratios and rotational speeds. In particular, performance evaluations...

... machine theory mechanism synthesis springs Assembly tasks consist in making the connection between two or more separate parts to build another part or mechanism composed of the previous parts. Complex objects are generally composed of several simpler ones, which need to be assembled. Assembly...

...Juan M. Munoz-Guijosa; Alejandro Silva; Cristina Alén-Cordero; Álvaro Guzmán Due to their robustness, compactness, simplicity, and the possibility of nonlinear torque curves, spiral springs are being increasingly contemplated for industrial application. Recent manufacturing technologies...

... are not buckled in their second or higher order buckling modes. (4) Lateral forces of module 1 and module 2 are negligible compared to the buckling load of the beams of the programming spring. (5) The displacement range of the beams is within their intermediate range [ 18 ]. The mechanism has...

... is exploited. To this end, two conical springs are specially sized to provide the nonlinearity. To eliminate the linear stiffness, the concept of a negative stiffness mechanism is implemented by two cylindrical compression springs. A small-sized NES system is then developed. To validate the concept...

... Design section. If the external flexion moment is not immediately followed by an extension moment, and the dashpot timer (6) fully rotates clockwise (i.e., t 1  + t > t timer ) , then it will push up on the resistance roller (4) causing the override spring compressor (5) to release...

...Manuel Paredes Cylindrical compression springs have been commonly exploited in mechanical systems for years and their behavior is considered as well identified. Nevertheless, it appears that, even though old research studies suggest correcting the rate formula, the main industrial software...

... arm mechanisms have reached fairly broad adoption over a range of applications, it remains unknown exactly how the spring properties and geometric parameters of the mechanism enable its overall performance. We developed a simplified model to analyze the vertical dynamics of stabilizing arms...

... 02 05 2013 Most research papers that exploit conical springs focus only on conical springs with a constant pitch. In order to increase the range of possibilities for designers, this paper proposes a study of conical springs with other types of spirals projected on the conical shape...
