Abstract: In this paper, we study the type synthesis of wire flexures to achieve orthogonal motions by using a recently developed screw theory based design approach. For a given desired mobility pattern, ...

Abstract: Motivated by the problem of synthesizing a pattern of flexures that provide a desired constrained motion, this paper presents a new screw theory that deals with “line screws” and “line screw ...

Abstract: We study the synthesis of a slider-crank four-bar linkage whose coupler point traces a set of predefined task points. We report that there are at most 558 slider-crank four-bars in cognate ...
