  2. Dual curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_curve

    The black curve has no singularities but has four distinguished points: the two top-most points correspond to the node (double point), as they both have the same tangent line, hence map to the same point in the dual curve, while the two inflection points correspond to the cusps, since the tangent lines first go one way then the other (slope ...

  3. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    The adjustable base pivot makes this a two degree-of-freedom five-bar linkage. It is common practice to design the linkage system so that the movement of all of the bodies are constrained to lie on parallel planes, to form what is known as a planar linkage.

  4. Dwell mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwell_mechanism

    A double dwell cam mechanism has a motion function which follows a rise-dwell-fall-dwell motion function sequence that repeats. Unlike the single dwell, the rise function position ends with the follower's acceleration becoming zero, as it is stationary in the first dwell.

  5. Camber (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camber_(aerodynamics)

    Camber is a complex property that can be more fully characterized by an airfoil's camber line, the curve Z(x) that is halfway between the upper and lower surfaces, and thickness function T(x), which describes the thickness of the airfoils at any given point. The upper and lower surfaces can be defined as follows:

  6. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    Planar quadrilateral linkage, RRRR or 4R linkages have four rotating joints. One link of the chain is usually fixed, and is called the ground link, fixed link, or the frame. The two links connected to the frame are called the grounded links and are generally the input and output links of the system, sometimes called the input link and output link.

  8. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    The intention of Ackermann geometry is to avoid the need for tyres to slip sideways when following the path around a curve. [3] The geometrical solution to this is for all wheels to have their axles arranged as radii of circles with a common centre point. As the rear wheels are fixed, this centre point must be on a line extended from the rear axle.
