A Library of Open Chain Linkage Dynamics
摘要
This paper defines a closed set of 2 and 3 degree of freedom linkages where successive joints are either parallel, perpendicular and not intersecting, or perpendicular and intersecting. Providing the dynamic equations for these 18 linkages as a reference set would allow other researchers to explore a wide range of dynamic problems from these starting points. Similarly these equations would be available to confirm other numerical and symbolic calculations, or cross-check that more complex configurations reduce to one of these forms following simple algebraic substitution.
