The Effect of the Tibiofemoral Contact Path Centroid Location on TKR Contact Forces

ASME 2010 Summer Bioengineering Conference, Parts A and B, 2010
Detailed knowledge of in vivo knee contact forces and the contribution from muscles, ligaments, and other soft-tissues to knee joint function are essential for evaluating total knee replacement (TKR) designs. We have recently developed a mathematical model for calculating knee joint contact forces using parametric methodology (Lundberg et al., 2009 ...

Topology Synthesis of Path-Generating Contact-aided Compliant Mechanisms Using a Regularized Contact Model

10th AIAA/ISSMO Multidisciplinary Analysis and Optimization Conference, 2004
*† This paper addresses the systematic synthesis of contact-aided compliant mechanisms which use intermittent contact interactions to enable nonsmooth responses with a singlepiece elastic body. The intermittent contact, assumed to be frictionless and adhesion-less in this paper, with a set of rigid external surfaces helps satisfy prescribed nonsmooth ...

Relationship between pattern of masticatory path and state of lateral occlusal contact

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2009
Summary  The purpose of this study is to clarify whether the state of occlusal contact on lateral excursion is related to the pattern of masticatory movement path. The masticatory movement during mastication of softened chewing gum and the occlusal contact on lateral sliding of the mandible by 1 mm (L1), 2 mm (L2) and 3 mm (L3) were recorded in 50 ...

Some Exploration of the Path-Dependence in the Contact Analysis

Volume 7: 32nd Conference on Mechanical Vibration and Noise (VIB), 2020
Abstract One of the most frustrating features of joint mechanics is that all the important processes take place precisely where they cannot be seen or measured directly — the interface between contacting bodies. In order to achieve some insight into the mechanisms that give rise to the nonlinearities of joints one naturally turns to ...

Gear transmission error outside the normal path of contact due to corner and top contact

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 1999
This paper is devoted to a phenomenon known as corner contact, or contact outside the normal path of contact, which can occur in spur and helical gear transmission systems under certain conditions. In this case, a change in position of the driven gear with respect to its theoretical position takes place, thus inducing a transmission error referred to ...

Differential Contact Path and Conjugate Properties of Planar Gearing Transmission

Journal of Mechanical Design, 2012
This paper presents a general conjugation model based on the intrinsic kinematical properties of the contact path. The model is truly general for any planar transmission through contact curves, such as gearing. The effectiveness of the method is not affected by the type of centrodes or motion and path of contact.

Analysis of the contact graph routing algorithm: Bounding interplanetary paths

Acta Astronautica, 2012
Abstract Interplanetary communication networks comprise orbiters, deep-space relays, and stations on planetary surfaces. These networks must overcome node mobility, constrained resources, and significant propagation delays. Opportunities for wireless contact rely on calculating transmit and receive opportunities, but the Euclidean-distance diameter ...

Geometric design and contact analysis of internal meshing gears with elliptical contact path

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science
This study proposes a design method of internal meshing gear with elliptical contact path, and its contact characteristics are analyzed. The tooth profile of the internal meshing gear is actively designed based on elliptical meshing line (EML). Firstly, the elliptic meshing line is established according to the principle of differential geometry.

Research on Path of Contact Wheel for Ruled Blade Grinding

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
Blade is one of the important components in aero-engine, turbine, and wind generators. The quality of the blades has big influence on the performance of the machine. So high profile accuracy and low surface roughness were put forward. Ruled blade is just one of the blades of aero-engine, which has simple profile and little distort.
