Abstract: The structural analysis of space linkages with two general constraints has been conducted by using Franke’s condensed notation. Linkages with mobility one and mobility two with up to three loops ...

Abstract: Using the principle of stretch rotation and the principle of similarly varying triangle, the existence of coupler cognates of eight-link mechanisms with ternary links and double joints is ...

Abstract: Using the principle of stretch rotation and the principle of similarly varying triangle, existence of coupler cognates of eight-link mechanisms with ternary and quaternary links is established. ...

Abstract: A complete dynamic analysis procedure to analyze elastic linkages is presented in this study. Forward and inverse dynamics techniques are developed for elastic linkages with revolute and prismatic ...

Abstract: The dynamic analysis of a gyroscopic mechanical system subjected to seismic excitation is presented. The gyroscopic system consists of a rigid rotor mounted on fluid film bearings. The seismic ...

Abstract: An analytical method is presented for designing spatial four-link RCCC and RCRC crank-rocker mechanisms with optimum transmission angle. Mathematical relationships are derived for the computation ...

Abstract: The spherical drag-link mechanism has been designed using an approach based on minimum transmission angle. Explicit relationships have been derived for the required dimensions which satisfy the ...

Abstract: The principle of point-position-reduction technique, which is used for position-synthesis of planar mechanisms, is extended to synthesize spherical four-link and spatial four-link RCCC mechanisms ...

Abstract: Using rotational displacement matrices to describe spherical motions, closed-form synthesis equations are derived for two rotation matrix mechanisms. These equations are used to calculate the linkage ...
