figure 3 shows a snail cam which is driven a constant rotational velocity of the CAM. Model the system in SolidWorks (assume whatever dimensions you’d like) and provide a estimated position-velocity-acceleration-jerk profile of the follower from at least one full back-and-forth motion of the follower. HINT: SolidWorks can provide graphs of position, velocity, and acceleration; you can derive jerk from the rate of change of the acceleration curve. Describe what the graph means from a precision dynamics standpoint (i.e., describe the impact of the motion profile in the forces on the system, “rider experience”, etc.). the force from the motion profile causes the shaft of the follower’s roller to fail. Describe the analytical process that could (should) have been done to predict the failure. Provide a design change to avoid the failure, describing the tradeoffs to your approach.
