... springs the analytical formulas are necessary. In this paper the analytical solution of the problem of elastic–plastic deformation of cylindrical bar under combined bending and torsion moments is found for a special nonlinear stress–strain law. The obtained solution allows the analysis of the active...

...R. J. Chang; Y. L. Wang A precision-scaling kinematic model with the effects of physical error is investigated in the miniaturization of four-bar polymer machines with compliant joints. A pseudolinkages model (PLM) for the multiple-links compliant machine is formulated. A scaling formulation...

...A. R. Ragab; S. N. Samy A systematic approach is presented to estimate the roll separating force in bar rolling. This force is the product of the contact area between the rolled material and the roll pass, the mean unit pressure on the roll and the average flow stress within the roll gap...

...Younan Xu; Fengfeng Xi This paper presents a real-time method for solving the forward kinematics of a tripod with fixed-length legs. The basic idea is to model the problem at hand based on a spatial four-bar linkage through which three sliding legs can be interrelated by choosing one link...
