This technical note shows that the determination of the stresses induced in multi-metal beams by temperature changes reduces to solving a linear system of equations. This system of equations has a very particular structure that allows one to obtain a closed form solution easily.

The dimensional synthesis of a spatial two revolute jointed dyad for path following tasks with applications to coupled serial chain mechanisms is presented. The precision point synthesis equations obtained using the rotation matrix approach form a rank-deficient linear system in the link-vector components. The nullspace of this rank-deficient linear system is derived analytically and interpreted geometrically. The nullspace vectors lead to the specification of additional constraints via the so-called auxiliary equations and to the solution of the linear system of equations. The geometry also allows the derivation of a closed form solution for the three design position problem. Finally, optimal path following by coupled R-R dyads is achieved by optimization over the free choice variables.
