Abstract:

We propose a computational-kinematics approach based on elimination procedures to synthesize a steering four-bar linkage. In this regard, we aim at minimizing the root-mean square error of the synthesized linkage in meeting the steering condition over a number of linkage configurations within the linkage range of motion. A minimization problem is thus formulated, whose normality conditions lead to two polynomial equations in two unknown design variables. Upon eliminating one of these two variables, a monovariate polynomial equation is obtained, whose roots yield all locally-optimum linkages. F

Abstract:

This paper investigates the possibilities of building large deployable mechanical network based on Myard linkage, a 5R overconstrained linkage. The motion configurations of a Myard linkage is first briefly introduced, and the results show that the linkage is a good candidate for forming large spatial deployable structures which can be deployed to a planar configuration and folded to a compact bundle. Three kinds of assembly ways of Myard linkages are introduced. Afterwards, two types of large spatial deployable networks based on Myard linkages with different twist angles are developed.

Abstract:

This paper presents the application of a new methodology for the rapid synthesis of a single-degree-of-freedom function generating linkages. Harmonic analysis and normalization are used as a means of evaluating linkage performance. The performance information for a large number of linkage types and dimensional variants are stored in a software-based library. A means whereby this library can he searched for linkages to meet prescribed performance criteria is discussed. The use of an optimization technique to ‘fine tune’ the library selections is introduced. Finally, an example of the use of the

Abstract:

Efficient and effective generation of high-acceleration movement in biology requires a process to control energy flow and amplify mechanical power from power density–limited muscle. Until recently, this ability was exclusive to ultrafast, small organisms, and this process was largely ascribed to the high mechanical power density of small elastic recoil mechanisms. In several ultrafast organisms, linkages suddenly initiate rotation when they overcenter and reverse torque; this process mediates the release of stored elastic energy and enhances the mechanical power output of extremely fast, sprin

Second, using the overlapping-unit method, a deployable mechanical network is constructed. The constraint graph of the mechanical network is deduced subsequently. The mobili

A planar reconfigurable linear (also rectilinear) rigid-body motion linkage (RLRBML) with two operation modes, that is, linear rigid-body motion mode and lockup mode, is presented using only R (revolute) joints.

It is created via combining a Robert’s linkage and a double parallelogram linkage (with equal lengths of rocker links) arranged in parallel, which can convert a limited circular motion to a linear rigid-body motion without any reference guide way.

Abstract:

This paper presents a graphical technique to construct the coupler cognate linkages for the double flier eight-bar linkage. The technique is based on the skew pantograph construction which converts the double flier linkage into a second eight-bar linkage by applying the concepts of stretch rotation and kinematic inversion. Since a stretch-rotation operation preserves the angular velocities of corresponding links of the two linkages then the second linkage has the same input-output motion as the original double flier linkage. Another stretch rotation is performed on the intermediate eight-bar l

Based on the derived matrix and its differential equations, a systematic formulation is presented to either identify the simple stationary configurations of movable spatial 4R, 5R and 6R overconstrained linkages or prove none of them occurs at all.

In addition, the closed-form solutions of linkage joint variables are well-established and with the help of computer graphics, geometrical meanings of linkage configurations are described.

The kinematic mapping is used to represent planar constraint equations in a three-dimensional projective image space because it offers a comprehensive way to solve problems in kinematic synthesis. The motion of a planar rigid body under a RR constraint can be mapped to points on a skew one-sheet hyperboloid with circles a

Abdominal pumping is a well-known behavior in insects, thought to function largely in respiratory processes. In particular, the abdominal pump is considered to produce ventilation of air in the tracheal system, but the mechanistic link between abdominal movement and flow of air is not well understood. In this thesis, we explore the relationship between the abdominal pump and ventilation of air using pupal and adult forms of the darkling beetle Zophobas morio. First, we investigated the mechanical linkage between abdominal pumping and active ventilation in pupae by simultaneously measuring a

To fully mitigate this risk of injury, exoskeletons will need to be fully self-balancing, able to move and stand without crutches or other walking aid.

Association is the only concept in cognition that is as general, simple, and useful as classic theories in physics. Aristotle claimed that sensory-based events were the elementary units of memory.

The ability to form networks of associations was unique to humans. William James extended Aristotle’s ideas by proposing a cognitive system that moved well beyond rote linkage in power and flexibility. Some of the mechanics of associative memory can be ex

In the first kinematics part, positions, linear velocities and linear accelerations of the joints are used as the solution variables in the finite element formulation.

The selection of a tracking system for locating patient anatomy and/or surgical tools is of critical importance for many computer aided techniques in minimally invasive surgery. A mechanical tracking system has many advantages in a medical situation since it avoids the occlusion and distortion issues of optical and electromagnetic systems. However, few mechanical tracking systems exist due to the challenges of minimizing error accumulation along a serial linkage. To minimize error, the existing mechanical tracking linkages are large and bulky, making them impractical for a surgical setting.

Abstract:

Conventional nonadjustable four-bar linkages can only generate the desired continuous paths approximately. With one link length adjustment, the whole desired continuous path can be generated precisely. In this paper, the length of the driven side link or coupler is adjusted to generate the desired continuous paths precisely. The linkage feasibility conditions and path generation flexibilities of the adjustable four-bar linkages are analyzed. The optimal synthesis model of adjustable four-bar linkages is established based on the required optimal link length adjustment when the desired continuou
