Conference Object Numerical Analysis of Planar Cam Follower Mechanisms(IFToMM, 2012) Kiper, Gökhan; Huang, Chintien; Söylemez, EresGiven planar cam profiles and follower types, this paper analyzes their displacement diagrams numerically. The algorithm is based on the concept that a cam and its follower must have a common normal at the contact point. Instead of using kinematic inversion, this paper directly calculates contact points in the fixed coordinate system. This paper demonstrates a straightforward approach for motion analysis when discrete cam profile data points and link lengths are available. We implement the method by using the spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel®, which is well-suited for dealing with discrete data points. The results given in this paper can easily be employed in reverse engineering applications and adapted in undergraduate curriculum.Book Part Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Closed-Form Solution of Spatial Sliders for Rigid-Body Guidance(Springer, 2013) Huang, Chintien; Huang, Weiche; Kiper, GökhanThis paper presents a closed-form solution to the four-position synthesis problem by using a spatial slider, which is a spatial dyad of two perpendicularly intersected cylindrical joints. We utilize the dialytic elimination method to simplify the synthesis equations and to obtain a univariate ninth degree polynomial equation. Among the nine sets of solutions, two of them are infinite, and one is the displacement screw from the first position to the second position. Therefore, we have at most six real solutions that can be used to design spatial sliders for the four-position synthesis problem. A numerical example is provided in to demonstrate the validity of the solution procedure.
