Abstract: A kind of kinematic chain with parallel linear motion elements (PLMEs) is proposed and studied in this paper. Based on screw theory, the kinematic screw equations of these linkages are established. The two special categories ...

Abstract: In this study, a novel vibration isolator is presented. The presented isolator possesses the controllable stiffness and can be employed in vibration isolation at a low-resonance frequency. The controllable stiffness of the ...
