The short and medium term development strategy in Europe—and not only, focuses on
Energy as the key issue, particularly on energy efficiency and renewable energy systems in …

The cams, gear boxes or linkages mechanisms are an important part for tracking systems for
solar collectors or solar panels. So far, these mechanisms were individually analyzed, using …

Abstract At the Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics (LARM) in Cassino a test-bed for
three circular-arc cams has been designed and built with the aim to investigate and validate …

The modern product design requires the use of commercial software that allows an unitary
modelling of the mechanical systems, part in the final product. The paper proposes the …

Developing the virtual prototypes of novel products using commercial software leads to a
unitary modeling of all the component mechanism types (linkages, cams, gears, etc.). The …

Sustainable product design and development has gone global by involving teams from all
over the world, developing new/innovative, high-tech products, aiming to implement …

Concentrator collectors are generally used in order to increase the quantity of energy
absorbed from the Sun. These collectors use only the direct radiation, being equipped with a …
