A Methodology for Conceptual Design of Mechanisms by Parsing Design Specifications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, design specifications for the conceptual design of mechanisms are parsed into three coherent categories: functional requirements, structural requirements, and design constraints. Based ...
Topological Synthesis of Fractionated Geared Differential Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An efficient and systematic methodology for the topological synthesis of admissible fractionated geared differential mechanisms is presented. Based on the extension of the 2-dof automotive gear ...
On the Embedded Kinematic Fractionation of Epicyclic Gear Trains
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the concept of kinematic fractionation is introduced for epicyclic gear trains (EGTs) which contains structural fractionation as a degenerate case. With the concept of kinematic ...
On the Application of Kinematic Units to the Topological Analysis of Geared Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the concept of kinematic fractionation, a systematic method for the topological analysis of geared mechanisms is presented in this paper. It is shown that a geared kinematic chain ...
Kinematic and Dynamic Synthesis of Geared Robotic Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Design of a Gravity-Balanced General Spatial Serial-Type Manipulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel methodology for the design of a gravity-balanced serial-type spatial manipulator is presented. In the design, gravity effects of the system can be completely compensated at any configuration. ...
On the Operation Space and Motion Compatibility of Variable Topology Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the implementation of just one mechanism, variable topology mechanisms can serve the functions of many mechanisms by changing their topology. These types of mechanisms have raised interest ...
Design of Perfectly Statically Balanced One-DOF Planar Linkages With Revolute Joints Only
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A systematic methodology for the design of a statically balanced, single degree-of-freedom planar linkage is presented. This design methodology is based on the concept of conservation of potential ...
Kinematic Characteristics and Classification of Geared Mechanisms Using the Concept of Kinematic Fractionation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A methodology based on the concept of kinematic fractionation for the revelation of kinematic characteristics and classification of geared mechanisms is presented. It is shown that structurally ...
