RISIN MEMORIAM: Dr. An Tzu Yang (1923–2003)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When applying for graduate school, I was contacted by Prof. A. T. Yang at UC Davis, but wound up at Stanford only to find decades later that my research is dominated by the mathematics of ...
A Study of the Duality Between Planar Kinematics and Statics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides geometric insight into the correlation between basic concepts underlying the kinematics of planar mechanisms and the statics of simple trusses. The implication of this ...
Extension of Graph Theory to the Duality Between Static Systems and Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is a study of the duality between the statics of a variety of structures and the kinematics of mechanisms. To provide insight into this duality, two new graph representations are ...
Spatial Mechanisms and Robot Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The subject of spatial mechanisms and robot manipulators continues to see sensational theoretical advances and exciting practical applications in fields ranging from product engineering, manufacturing, ...
Guest Editorial
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: At the Mechanisms and Robotics Awards Luncheon, held on Wednesday September 29, 2004, Dr. John J. Uicker, Jr., Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Wisconsin–Madison, received the ...
Graphical Technique to Locate the Center of Curvature of a Coupler Point Trajectory
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an original technique to locate the center of curvature of the path traced by an arbitrary point fixed in the coupler link of a planar four-bar linkage. The method is ...
Coupler Cognates for the Double Flier Eight-Bar Linkage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a graphical technique to construct the coupler cognate linkages for the double flier eight-bar linkage. The technique is based on the skew pantograph construction which ...
Graphical Methods to Locate the Secondary Instant Centers of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Indeterminate Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
A Polynomial Equation for a Coupler Curve of the Double Butterfly Linkage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a closed-form polynomial equation for the path of a point fixed in the coupler links of the single degree-of-freedom eight-bar linkage commonly referred to as the double ...
A Graphical Method to Find the Secondary Instantaneous Centers of Zero Velocity for the Double Butterfly Linkage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
