... which considers backlash nonlinearity and time-dependent mesh stiffness is proposed, and then the nonlinear equations of motion are derived. Based on the equations of motion, the effect of mesh stiffness on the dynamic response is computed by applying the Runge-Kutta method. Furthermore, this paper...

... structures, which utilize curved snapping beams. Two pairs of curved beams were attached to an inner frame in both X and Y directions to present an independent bistable behavior in the directions. It was found out that the design of the inner frame is crucial for the quadstability and dynamic responses...

... method is used to find the natural frequency and dynamic response of a flexible manipulator by treating it as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. The cross-sectional diameter is varied along the length keeping the constraint on the mass of the manipulator and static tip deflection in order to maximize...

... system were studied experimentally and numerically. Time varying roller mesh stiffness and damping coefficients were used to account for the periodic variation of the mesh stiffness in the dwell and the active periods respectively. Dynamic responses of a globoidal cam system in the active and the dwell...

... constraints, while a lubricated journal bearing joint imposes force constraints. As an application, the dynamic response of a slider-crank mechanism including a lubricated journal bearing joint between the connecting rod and the slider is considered and analyzed. The dynamic response is obtained...
