... Abstract This paper examines the problem of identifying the assembly configurations (ACs), also called circuits, of planar non-single-input-dyadic (NSID) mechanisms. An SID mechanism is a multi-loop mechanism which can be defined by adding one loop at a time such that the mechanism has one...

... Abstract This paper examines the problem of finding the assembly configurations, also called circuits, of spatial single-loop single-DOF mechanisms with five or more links. The RRRCC, RRCRC, RRRRCR, and RRRRRRR mechanisms are covered, along with all variations in which a revolute (R) joint...

... Abstract This paper examines the problem of identifying the assembly configurations (ACs), also called circuits, of planar multi-loop mechanisms with kinematic limitations, such as joint limits, link interference, collision with stationary obstacles, and workspace limitations. First, a method...
