Selection of B-Spline Degree on Optimal Design of Mechanism

Article Preview

Abstract:

The degree is an important parameter for B-spline. In this paper, as one example of optimal design in mechanism, the optimal design of the cam curve to control the residual vibration of the follower output for an indexing cam mechanism is taken and the effect of the degree of the B-spline to describe the cam curve on the optimization performance is discussed by obtained results.
