Abstract: Multi-mode parallel mechanisms (PMs) are a class of reconfigurable mechanisms that can switch between different operation modes without the need for disconnection and reassembly. Although a number of multi-DOF multi-mode ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a 6R single-loop overconstrained spatial mechanism that has two pairs of revolute joints with intersecting axes and one pair of revolute joints with parallel axes. The 6R mechanism is first constructed ...

Abstract: A wire beam is a single-translation constraint along its axial direction. It offers many applications in compliant mechanisms, such as being a transmitting/decoupling element connected to a linear actuator and being a ...
