A comprehensive survey of the literature of the most relevant analytical, numerical, and
experimental approaches for the kinematic and dynamic analyses of multibody mechanical …

Clearance is inevitable for assembly and mobility in the kinematic joints of mechanisms.
Excessive value of this clearance leads to poor operational characteristics, and these result …

This paper conducts a numerically comparative study on dynamic response of a planar
slider–crank mechanism with two clearance joints between considering harmonic drive and …

As a result of design, manufacturing and assembly processes or a wear effect, clearances
are inevitable at the joints of mechanisms. In this study, dynamic response of mechanism …

Compliant mechanism has got at least one flexible member between conventional rigid
links. It is a good choice for decreasing the number of movable joints and also their …

Time-dependent reliability method for mechanisms predicts the probability of satisfying the
motion requirement in a predefined period of time. The current reliability methods do not …

In this work, a new dissipative contact force model, based on the foundation of Hertz contact
law, is presented for impact analysis in multibody dynamics. A hysteresis damping force is …

This paper considers dimensional synthesis of a six-bar linkage with turning kinematic pairs,
in the literature known as Stephenson III Six-bar linkage. The synthesis procedure started …

A computational methodology for analysis of space robot manipulator systems, considering
the effects of the clearances in the joint, is presented. The contact dynamics model in joint …

In this paper, the dynamic response of a planar rigid multi-body system with stick–slip friction
in revolute clearance joints is studied. LuGre friction law is proposed to model the stick–slip …
