...Yi Lu; Yan Shi; Shi-Hua Li; Xing-Bin Tian This paper proposes a systematic methodology for dimension synthesis, kinematics, and statics of a novel 2 S P ̱ S + S P ̱ R + SP parallel manipulator with 3DOF. First, a workspace is varied and analyzed by varying the orientation of a revolute joint...

...Offer Shai; Gordon R. Pennock This paper is a study of the duality between the statics of a variety of structures and the kinematics of mechanisms. To provide insight into this duality, two new graph representations are introduced; namely, the flow line graph representation and the potential line...

... are thus developed for the mechanism’s direct and inverse static problems. Furthermore, the working curve, singularities, and stiffness of the mechanism are detailed. Finally, a dynamic model of the mechanism is developed and a preliminary control scheme is proposed. Planar 1-DOF tensegrity mechanism...

... argument. The latter equation relates the actuator forces to the Cartesian wrench, w , applied at the end-effector in static mode. Since all links are assumed rigid, the compliance of the mechanism will be induced solely by the compliance of the actuators. An actuator compliance matrix C...

...Marco Carricato; Vincenzo Parenti-Castelli; Joseph Duffy This article presents the inverse static analysis of a two degrees of freedom planar mechanism with flexural pivots. Such analysis aims to detect the entire set of equilibrium configurations of the system once the external load is assigned...
