Abstract

The problem of finding cam profiles with limited follower velocity, acceleration and jerk and minimal residual vibrations over a prescribed range of cam speeds is formulated as a mathematical optimization problem. Two versions of the problem are considered: a quadratic problem formulation and a linear programming formulation. Numerical solutions have been found through the use of a digital computer and the methods are compared. Examples of profiles are presented which compare favourably with the well-known cycloidal profile.
