Abstract: Freudenstein’s approximate synthesis of planar four-bar linkages is generalized to spatial linkages, and the conditions under which this generalization is applicable are expressed. Three cases of ...

Abstract: The algebraic method using 4 × 4 matrices is extended to the analysis of velocities, accelerations, and static forces in one-degree-of-freedom, single-loop, spatial linkages consisting of ...

Abstract: A double Hooke joint consists of two properly connected single Hooke joints for the purpose of transmitting rotation with a uniform angular velocity ratio. Previous kinematic analyses [1, 2, ...

Abstract: An algebraic method for the displacement analysis of linkages has been the subject of earlier publications [1, 2]. This method, based on the use of a symbolic notation, allows the application ...
