• Kinematic analysis of cam profiles used in compound bows 

    Hanson, Andrew Joseph, 1984- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    The first compound bow was invented in Missouri in 1969. [Allen, 1968] Compound bows are uniquely different from other types of bows in that they use a set of cables, cams and pulley, and two elastic limbs that act as ...
  • Modeling, verification, optimal design of nonlinear valve spring 

    Su, Yu-Cheng, 1982- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    The objective of this study is the optimal design of helical spring based on dynamic criteria. The most important dynamic performance criterion of a helical spring is the resonance behavior, including dynamic stress, coil ...
