Abstract: In the dimension synthesis of the spatial linkages, the geometric characteristics of floating links in mechanisms reveal the geometric relationship between the motion task and the dimensions of the mechanisms. In order to ...

Abstract: Slender beams serve as typical flexible components to transfer motion, force, and energy in compliant mechanisms. Therefore, the accurate and efficient kinetostatic modeling for the slender beams is highly needed in the ...

Abstract: Designing guidance mechanisms using bistable mechanisms with two stable positions is a common low-power solution for maintaining the guidance position without continuous external energy input. However, the coupling between ...

Abstract: V-polyhedra is a Kokotsakis-type flat foldable rigid origami with increasing application in the engineering field. Currently, researches on origami mainly focused on foldability and mobility. In order to apply V-polyhedra ...

Abstract: This paper presents a geometric method as a unified synthesis process of function generation for spatial linkages. The synthesis method utilizes the mapping relationship between spatial kinematic geometric model and two-plane ...
