Abstract: An important step in the structural synthesis of mechanisms requires the identification of isomorphism between the graphs which represents the mechanism topology. Previously used methods for ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for complete force analysis, including both statics and dynamics, of overconstrained, statically indeterminate spatial mechanisms. Of primary concern is the development ...

Abstract: This study concerns the degree-of-freedom, the arrangements of input and the type of mobility of multi-loop, multi-degree-of-freedom mechanisms. Firstly, “basic loops” are introduced, and a systematic ...
