Unified Method

A new, unified method is proposed and demonstrated to conduct kinematic analysis of spatial mechanisms involving revolute, cylindrical, prismatic, helical and spherical pairs. The paper derives the equations for the successive screw displacements, and the equations for pair constraints. Using these equations, closed-form relationships for displacement, velocity and acceleration of single or multi-loop spatial mechanisms are obtained by (1) breaking the mechanism at a critical joint (2) unfolding the mechanism along a straight line (3) providing successive screw displacement at each joint and (4) reassembling the mechanism to form a closed loop. The application of this newly developed approach is demonstrated by considering an example of a two-loop spatial mechanism with revolute, cylindrical and spherical pairs.

Using (3 × 3) matrices with dual elements, two loop Watt and Stephenson type six-link spatial mechanisms with one revolute and six cylinder pairs and single loop R-C-R-R-P-R, R-C-R-R-R-R six-link mechanisms are examined to obtain closed form displacement relationships between independent and dependent displacement parameters. Displacement analyses are performed to illustrate the use of these displacement relationships.

Abstract This paper presents a closed form solution for determining connectivity between any two links in mechanism. The formulation is based on graph theory and its modification. The proposed approach could be applied to both planar and spatial mechanisms including combined planar-spatial mechanisms. Further, the mechanism may have multiple closed loops and/or open-chain substructures. A new concept of Connectivity of Motion has been introduced to determine the connectivity between any two links when the mechanism under consideration has special arrangement of adjacent joints such as joints with parallel and/or intersecting axes. Four examples are presented to illustrate connectivity calculations in spatial mechanisms.

Analytical Expressions

A dual dynamic equation, based on dual vectors and screw calculus, is formulated here to provide a concise analytical tool for the study of the dynamics of rigid members in any complex mechanical system. In this paper the equation is applied to inertia force analysis of an RCCC mechanism of general proportions; bearing reactions and inertia torque are obtained in closed form dual-number expressions. Such analytical expressions are more susceptible for geometric interpretation and well adapted for digital computation.

Closed-form Grashof-type movability conditions are derived for closed-loop RSSR mechanisms using a geometrical approximation technique. The conditions that ensure the presence of crank-rocker and drag-link type mechanisms are derived with and without force transmission limitations. The force transmission limitations may be specified as a function of the output link angle. The accuracy of the approximated conditions is analyzed. As an example, the conditions are used to synthesize a function generating mechanism with fully rotatable crank and with various force transmission requirements. The developed technique is general, and can be applied to other similar spatial mechanisms. The application of this approach to geometrical synthesis of open-loop chain manipulators is discussed.

Dual-number quaternion algebra has been used to obtain explicit, closed-form algebraic expressions for the displacements, velocities, velocity ratios, forces, torques, mechanical advantages, transmission angle, and locking positions in spatial four-link mechanisms having one turning pair and three turn-slides. The results have been programmed for automatic digital computation.
