A General Design Method of Cam Profile Based on Cubic Splines and Dynamic Model: Case Study of a Gravity-Driven Tricycle

This paper proposes a general design method for cams based on the kinematics and dynamics of a mechanical system. According to the actuator’s trajectory, the cam profile is generated in reverse based on the kinematic model of the system. Firstly, the cam design’s optimising problem is converted into...
