Use of Bézier curves in the design of the displacement law of the cam-follower mechanism: Von Mises effective Stress

Designing cams by Bézier Curves has become increasingly common, since the mathematical development of this method is less complex. Bezier curves are Bernstein-based polynomials under a unitary domain, and in that sense, this article presents the design of a cam using Bezier curves of degrees 5, 7 an...
