.... It was shown that axial thrust force always exists because of the torsional pendulum torque acting on the long planet. Experimental test for a compound planetary spur gear was taken to study axial thrust force and validate the theory calculation. compound planetary gear set axial thrust force...

... vibration, resulting in premature failure. This problem is tackled through addition of an auxiliary, input torque balancing mechanism: A centrifugal pendulum, of which the pendulum motion is imposed by an internal cam. While earlier work by the same authors focused on the design, optimization...

... structures pendulums finite element analysis deformation position control matrix algebra Mechanical and structural systems made of flexible components that have slope discontinuities are in common use. For instance, two sheet metals that have different orientations have slope discontinuities...

..., and reverse sliding. The impact problems are classified into seven types, and based on the pre-impact system configuration and velocities, expressions for the normal and tangential impulses are derived for each impact type. Examples including the tip of a double pendulum impacting the ground with some...
