Cam Curve Design
Design a three-dwell cam to move a follower from 0 to 2.5" in 40deg, dwell for 100deg, fall 1.5" in 90deg, dwell for 20deg, fall 1" in 30deg, and dwell for the remainder. The total cycle must take 10sec. Plot the s,v,a,j diagrams. The polynomial method is to be used to solve the equation. For the graphs, Mathcad or similar program is necessary to graph the solution.
