Effects of balancing and link flexibility on dynamics of a planar mechanism having joint clearance

, 2012
An experimental study is proposed to investigate the effects of balancing and link flexibility on the dynamics of a mechanism with imperfect revolute joints, that is, joints having radial clearance. A planar slider-crank mechanism, widely used in vehicle

Obesity Subtypes and Longitudinal Trajectories of Function Over Seven Years of Follow‐Up: Data From the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Obesity, defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, is a risk factor for functional limitations in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, function varies among such individuals. Our objective was to evaluate the implications of obesity subtypes on longitudinal patterns of physical functioning in people with or at risk for knee OA ...

Investigation on effect of joint clearance on dynamics of four-bar mechanism

, 2009
As a result of design, manufacturing and assembly processes or a wear effect, clearances are inevitable at the joints of mechanisms. In this study, dynamic response of mechanism having revolute joints with clearance is investigated.
