A Computational Iteration Method to Analyze Mechanics of Timing Belt Systems with Non-Circular Pulleys
Timing belt systems, usually consisting of a toothed belt and multiple pulleys, are used in many mechanical devices, especially in the internal combustion engine to synchronize the rotation of the crankshafts and the camshafts. When the system operates, the belt teeth will be transmitted by the …

Design of a re-configurable test stand for a multi degree of freedom compliant robot prototype
… utilizes a stepper motor and a counterweighted pulley system to apply a compressive force through a single monofilament line. The test stand can accommodate prototypes up to 25 cm in length, and can apply a compressive force up to 6.5N with a resolution of ±0.04N. The displacement can be …

An experimental investigation into the most prominent sources of uncertainty in wave tank testing of floating offshore wind turbines
… Froude scaling. For this reason, wind emulation systems are used to replicate the aerodynamic forces from the turbine only. Testing was completed using two very different floating offshore wind concepts. A sensitivity analysis was completed by conducting variations to the wind emulation system …

Development of the ocular motor system in mouse embryos
The ocular motor system enables organisms to move their eyes to obtain precise visual feedback. In humans, six extraocular muscles form an oppositional pulley system to mediate slow, smooth tracking events as well as fast saccades. Their movement is dependent on three cranial nerves: the …

Implementation of a Hardware-in-the-Loop System Using Scale Model Hardware for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Development
… HIL testing focuses on one component or control system rather than the entire vehicle. The rest of the system is simulated by computer systems which use real time data acquisition systems to read outputs and respond like the systems in the actual vehicle would respond. The hardware for the system …

Development of a Novel Cam-based Infinitely Variable Transmission
… differential mechanism based on a cord and pulley system to reduce the contact force on the rollers. In addition, a unique external/inverted cam topology was developed to improve the contact geometry between the rollers and said cam. A prototype was built based on both the optimization …
