This chapter covers the kinematic analysis and dimensional synthesis of four-bar spatial mechanisms. The mechanisms considered here are the RRSS, 4R Spherical, and RSSR mechanisms. Suh and Radcliffe presented displacement, velocity, and acceleration equations for RRSS and RSSR mechanisms. These equations can …

In comparison to classical dimensional synthesis (where the dimensions of a single mechanism configuration are calculated), dimensional synthesis for an adjustable mechanism involves calculating the dimensions of a mechanism that can be adjusted to multiple configurations—each configuration approximating a particular group of …

Like a linkage, a robotic manipulator includes an assembly of links and joints and is designed to produce a controlled output motion. In addition to links and joints however, a robotic manipulator also includes electronic circuitry and computer-controlled actuators to compel link …

While analytical motion and path generation equations enable one to calculate mechanism solutions that precisely achieve precision positions and precision points, respectively, they become more limited and ultimately inadequate as the number of precision positions and points increases. Under such a condition, …

While the objective in kinematic analysis (presented in Chapter 4 ) is to calculate the output motion of a mechanism given its dimensions, the objective in dimensional synthesis is the inverse—to calculate the mechanism dimensions required to achieve a prescribed mechanism motion …

The objective in a kinematic analysis is to calculate the motions of mechanism links given the mechanism’s dimensions and its driving link parameters. Calculated link motions include positions, displacements, velocities, and accelerations. Because kinematic feasibility should be established first in mechanical design …

The novelty of this work is that for the first time, spatial four-bar linkage motion generation and axode generation models have been applied for the design of a joint to replicate natural canine knee motion. This canine knee design method incorporates spatial …
