Computational Implementation of LuGre Friction Model in a Revolute Joint with Clearance

Kihiu, John; Muvengei, Onesmus; Ikua, Bernard (JKUAT, 2012)

This paper demonstrates how LuGre friction law can be implemented to model the stick-slip friction in revolute clearance joints of a mechanical system. The effective coefficient of friction is represented as a function of ...
Effects of Input Speed on the Dynamic Response of Planar Multi-body Systems with Differently Located Frictionless Revolute Clearance Joints

Onesmus, muvengei; Kihiu, John; Ikua, Bernard (World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 2017-05-29)

This paper numerically investigates the effects of input speed on the overall dynamic characteristics of a multi-body system with differently located revolute clearance joints without friction. A typical planar slider-crank ...
Key Performance Indicators for Manufacturing Safety in Paint Manufacturing: A Case of the Kenyan Industry

Kimanzi, Enoch; Ikua, Bernard; Mbuya, Thomas (Proceedings of the 2015 Sustainable Research and Innovation(SRI) Conference, 2017-05-29)

Manufacturing safety is a key priority in the success of any business, as it can affect both the present and future competitive position of an organization. Organizations must measure safety in order to find areas of ...
Numerical and Parametric Investigation on the Dynamic Response of a Planar Multi-body System with Differently Located Revolute Clearance Joints

Onesmus, Muvengei; Kihiu, John; Ikua, Bernard (2017-02-13)

As a step towards the investigation of dynamic interaction of revolute clearance joints in a multi-body mechanical system, this paper numerically investigates the parametric effects of differently located revolute ...
