4.3 The equation of motion for a vibrating machine can be written as:
where k is the stiffness of the machine and m is the mass of the machine.
G = ωo / ωi
where F is the net force acting on the machine, m is the mass of the machine, and a is the acceleration of the machine.
s = f(θ)
DOF = 3(n-1) - 2f - h
where N1 and N2 are the number of teeth on the input and output gears, respectively.
where s is the displacement of the follower and θ is the angle of rotation of the cam.
