Abstract: The mobility of a linkage is determined by the constraints imposed on its members. The geometric constraints define the configuration space (cspace) variety as the geometric entity in which the finite mobility of a linkage ...

Abstract: The paper presents two novel second order conservative Liegroup geometric methods for integration of rigid body rotational dynamics. First proposed algorithm is a fully explicit scheme that exactly conserves spatial angular ...

Abstract: If a part of a mechanism is restrained to rotate about a point not physically belonging to it, the mechanism is called a remote centerofmotion (RCM) mechanism. The RCM mechanisms are generally designed especially for ...

Abstract: Shapecontrol in an architectural context is expected to provide unique opportunities for buildings with enhanced functionality, flexibility, energy performance, and occupants comfort. An architectural concept is proposed ...
