I see this problem all the time. The idea that if you apply a constant force on an object, it should move at a constant speed. Really, this is what Aristotle would say, right? There are two course ...

Your everyday notion of forces probably includes pushing and pulling and similar actions. Technically, when something is pushed or pulled we say that "a force is applied to the object". What happens ...

Compliant constant‐force mechanisms represent an innovative class of devices engineered to provide a near‐invariable output force over a defined range of motion. By exploiting the elastic deformation ...

Given a particle in Euclidean space, a central force is a force that points toward or away from the origin and depends only on the particle’s distance from the origin. If the particle’s position at ...

Smooth motion is key to precision; Here are some tips on how to get it. Precision-positioning systems used for metrology, inspection, printing, DNA assaying, and laser machining are typified by a need ...

If you are designing a product that requires any sort of smart-motion precision, spring parts that apply constant force or constant resistance are key mechanical design elements to consider. Two of ...

Everything in life runs better when it's constant. Daily activities are completed with ease if things in our lives remain steady, as jerky or erratic changes tend to disrupt our flow. The expression ...
