Design and kinematic analysis of mechanisms. Course topics include linkage synthesis and motion analysis (position, velocity and acceleration), cam, gear and power train design, and technical ...

His research interests include kinematic synthesis and analysis, robotics and multi-degree-of-freedom mechanisms. Pennock’s awards and recognitions include the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ...

The latest parallel kinematic mechanisms — hexapods — are significantly more accurate and dynamically stable than old iterations. Put them to work in your next positioning application to ...

Along the way, I discovered this book: Exact Constraint: Machine Design Using Kinematic Principles by Douglass L. Blanding. This book is a casual but thorough introduction to the design of ...

It also uses material properties from the CAD parts to define mechanism component inertial properties, and translates CAD assembly mating conditions into kinematic joints. Then it formulates ...

To develop injury prevention methods based on this mechanism, a more precise description is needed. Objective To describe the detailed joint kinematics in a slip-catch situation using a model-based ...
