Abstract: Several methods are available for determining the configurations of spatial linkages at which joint freedoms take limiting values. These approaches emphasize various characteristics of joint limit ...

Abstract: Discoveries of six-revolute spatial linkages have come about synthetically or intuitively rather than by analytical processes. The recognition of an anteriorly unknown case serendipitously incorporated ...

Abstract: In previous work, the algebraic representation of a fixed axode of the Bennett linkage has been revealed as extraordinarily cumbersome. In this sequel we use properties of the ruled surface ...

Abstract: Geometrical properties of linkages, such as parallelism of joint axes and symmetries, have previously been used to establish mobility. Because it was not until very recently that all relevant ...

Abstract: Recently isolated through fortuity and subsequent inference, a family of six-revolute spatial linkages is distinguished by dimensional properties which allow the individual loops to be folded, ...

Abstract: Despite the many studies devoted to it and its value as a learning tool, the Bennett linkage has never been employed as a working mechanism. It has recently found favor, however, among ...

Abstract: Despite the tidiness with which the Bennett linkage can be related geometrically to its associated quadric surfaces, the corresponding algebraic determinations have generally turned out to be ...

Abstract: In building upon the unique properties of his famous four-bar loop and its planar and spherical counterparts, Bennett proposed a planar kinematic network of twelve bars, eight hinges and six ...

Abstract: Using the geometrical properties of the Schatz linkage, we develop expressions for the velocity and acceleration of the mass centre for each coupler and for the angular velocity and acceleration ...
