Synthesis Procedure

A new method of designing four-bar function generators with optimum transmission angle is presented. Transmission angles are considered optimum, in a mini-max sense, when their extreme values deviate equally from 90 deg. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the synthesis procedure.

In this paper, the author proposes a general theory for synthesizing crank-type (i.e., crank-rocker and double-crank) four-bar function generators in which the transmission angle variation over a full crank revolution is in a specified range. Precision point as well as least-square designs have been considered in the paper. Applications of the theory are illustrated by means of numerical examples.

Nonlinear Nature

The first of these papers considering a hydraulically actuated mechanism presents the common oscillating cylinder arrangement and sets of equations which describe the dynamic system. It then defines dimensionless groups that characterize the actuator-mechanism and explores the quasi-linear behavior of the system. This present paper focuses on the nonlinear nature of the system. Effects of transmission angle, mechanism geometry and loading are considered as well as the range of operation in which the small perturbation behavior provides an adequate description of the dynamic response. The paper closes by identifying a new parameter which plays an important role in characterizing the dependence of the system transient response on mechanism geometry.

Cable Stayed Bridges

There exist evident shear-lag phenomena in large-span composite cable-stayed bridges under the action of axial force, especially in the deck with double main girders. In order to discuss the distribution law of the effective flange width coefficient along the span, caused by axial force, finite element computations of five composite cable-stayed bridges and theoretical analysis have been performed. The transmission angle of axial force caused by the axial compression of stay cables was given, meanwhile the formulas for computation effective slab width coefficient under axial force were suggested.
