Dimensional synthesis of crank-rocker mechanisms applied to provide some desired values stroke and time ratio, is utmost importance for designing an efficient mechanism. In the manufacturing mechanisms, designers are further challenged by other design criteria, such as quality motion. this study, a novel approach based on genetic programming (GP) proposed dimensional planar with optimum transmi...

In this paper, we suggest a novel transmission for the DC motor-based flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs). Most FWMAVs employ linkage structures, such as crank-rocker or crank-slider, which are designed to transmit motor’s rotating motion wing’s flapping motion. These transmitting linkages have shown successful performance; however, they entail possibility of mechanical wear originatin...

Secondary active transport of substrate across the cell membrane is crucial to many cellular and physiological processes. The crystal structure of one member of the secondary active transporter family, the sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) transporter (GlpT) of the inner membrane of Escherichia coli, suggests a mechanism for substrate translocation across the membrane that involves a rocker-switch-...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the locomotion performance of all-terrain rovers employing rocker-type suspension system. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, a robot with advanced mobility features is presented and its locomotion performance is evaluated, following an analytical approach via extensive simulations. The vehicle features an independently controlled four...

In order to solve the multi-directional bending problem of paper cards with different specifications, a swing type automatic folding mechanism was designed. Through gear rack and rocker slider mechanism, card can be folded vertically horizontally for many times. The MATLAB optimization function library is used optimize rocker, connecting rod, angle other size parameters block determined 15 degr...
