Abstract

This paper presents a new approach for analysing the natural resting behaviour of a non-rotational component. The method employs the energy envelope concept to analyse the natural resting of a component. The resultant curves for all the prisms agree well with Boothroyd's theoretical curve and Boothroyd's experimental data.
