Abstract: Some new concepts, such as the perimeter loop, the maximum perimeter degree-sequence, and the perimeter topological graph, are first presented in this paper, and the method for obtaining the ...

Abstract: This paper attempts to establish unified topological models and corresponding mathematical representations for planar simple joint, multiple joint, and geared (cam) kinematic chains. First, the ...

Abstract: The creation of novel kinematic structures of mechanisms still represents a major challenge in the quest for developing new, innovative devices. In this setting, computer models that can ...
