A cam is a simple mechanism that converts rotary motion (movement that goes round in a circle) into linear motion (movement in a straight line). These mechanisms can be found in car engines ...
Cam mechanisms are essential components in various mechanical systems, serving as a means to convert rotary motion into linear motion. The optimization of cam profiles is crucial for enhancing the ...
the development of semi-analytical solutions for systems with clearance nonlinearity and periodic excitation has provided new insights into the steady-state response of cam-follower mechanisms.
