Abstract

The effect of impact coefficient of restitution on the nonlinear response of the follower is investigated at different follower guides’ clearances, different cam speeds and different followers’ offsets. The impact between the cam and the follower and between the follower and its guide is considered in the presence of coefficient of restitution and follower offset. The nonlinear dynamics phenomenon of the follower due to the impact coefficient of restitution is detected using the approach of largest Lyapunov exponent. Moreover, the chaotic phenomenon is detected using a phase-plane diagram. The numerical simulation of the nonlinear response of the follower is calculated using the SolidWorks program. The chaotic phenomenon in the cam follower system is increased with the increase of the impact coefficient of restitution value in which the potential energy of the follower has been decreased in the presence of follower offset. The chaotic motion of the follower response occurs due to the increase in cam speeds, follower’s offsets, follower guides’ clearances and impact coefficient of restitution.
