Transform rotary motion triggered by environmental mechanical energy (eg, wind) to
electrical energy is widely used for energy harvesting. Triboelectric nanogenerators that are …

This paper presents a new method for cam profile design and optimization by integrating a
single objective optimization procedure with a dynamic model of cam-follower mechanism in …

This study proposes a novel mathematical framework for optimal synthesis of high-speed
cam curves, comprising three key aspects: piecewise high-order interpolation (PHOI) …

We derive a cellular solids approach to the design of bone scaffolds for stiffness and pore
size. Specifically, we focus on scaffolds made of stacked, alternating, orthogonal layers of …

This paper presents a general framework to design a cam profile using the finite element
method from given displacements of the follower. The arbitrarily complex cam profile is …

Cam follower systems are widely used in manufacturing because of their precise motion and
ability to easily dwell. The cam typically drives a follower in some precise motion needed to …

Cam-follower systems are ideally suited for many machine applications that require a
specific and an accurate output motion. The required follower motion is achieved by …

This paper presents a procedure for minimizing the size of roller-follower disc cam
mechanisms under the constraint of maximum pressure angle. The pressure angle …

This paper develops a general framework to synthesize optimal polynomial splines for rigid
motion systems driven by cams or servomotors. This framework is based on numerical …

This paper studies mathematical programming formulations for solving optimization
problems with piecewise polynomial (PWP) constraints. We elaborate on suitable …
