Abstract: In most mechanism systems, there exists more than one mode of assembly or configuration, of the mechanism for a given set of input conditions. During the synthesis process, branching occurs ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the development of a standard code for the unique representation of pin-jointed kinematic chains based on graph theory. Salient features of this method include the development ...

Abstract: The development of an efficient solution procedure for the detection of isomorphism and canonical numbering of vertices of colored graphs is introduced. This computer-based algorithm for colored ...

Abstract: The paper presents the development of a sub-Jacobian based method for the identification and elimination of branch defects during synthesis in nondyadic planar multiloop mechanisms. Branching ...
