Abstract: This paper presents a closed-form approach, based on the theory of resultants, for deriving the coupler curve equation of 16 8-link mechanisms. The solution approach entails successive elimination ...

Abstract: The displacement analysis problem for planar and spatial mechanisms can be written as a system of multivariate polynomial equations. Elimination theory based on resultants and polynomial continuation ...

Abstract: This paper presents a closed-form approach, based on the theory of resultants, to the displacement analysis problem of planar n-link mechanisms. The successive elimination procedure presented ...
