E.1 S, V Profile Generation and Cam Design: Constant Velocity Motion

The Appendix E.1 folder (which is available for download at https://www.routledge.com/p/book/9781032328317) includes the MATLAB file Cam_Const_Vel.m for the kinematic analysis and design of radial cams for constant velocity motion.* To conduct a constant velocity-based kinematic analysis, the user specifies the follower displacement event sequence, the displacement event ranges, the end values for each displacement event, the cam rotation speed, and the cam base circle radius.
