Abstract: This paper presents graphical techniques to locate the unknown instantaneous centers of zero velocity of planar, single-degree-of-freedom, linkages with kinematic indeterminacy. The approach is to ...

Abstract: The Aronhold-Kennedy theorem cannot locate all of the instantaneous centers of zero velocity for a planar, single-degree-of-freedom, indeterminate linkage. This paper presents a graphical technique ...

Abstract: This paper examines the problem of identifying the assembly configurations (ACs), also called circuits, of planar multi-loop mechanisms with kinematic limitations, such as joint limits, link ...

Abstract: This paper examines the problem of finding the assembly configurations (ACs), also called circuits, of spatial single-loop single-DOF mechanisms. All six lower pairs are considered: revolute (R), ...
