In (Flores, 2013) a computational methodology for the optimized design of disccam mechanisms with eccentric translating roller followers is presented; the objective function takes into account: the cam base circle radius, the roller radius, and the follower offset.
A computational approach for cam size optimization of disc cam-follower mechanisms with translating roller followers.
The topics include a description and preliminary results of a study of a test bench for artificial heart valves, a hardware-in-the-loop tool for designing complex mechanical system controllers, the design and experimental validation of a shape memory alloy actuator for linear motors, optimizing radial cams with
translating roller follower through genetic algorithms, a control system for an industrial robot equipped with a tool for advanced tasks in manufacturing, and mechatronics tools for turning.
