Analysis of the dynamics of a slider-crank mechanism locally actuated with an act-and-wait controller Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Traditional use of slider-crank mechanisms result in high loads transmitted through the mechanical structure, inhibiting the design of a compact machine. Therefore, this paper proposes to step away from the conventional, i.e. rotative, actuation and to investigate local linear actuation of the slider-component directly, while maintaining the kinematic link. In this work the equation of motion and corresponding non-isochronous movement are ...
