A closed-loop overconstrained spatial mechanism composed of six hinge-jointed bars,
which has three planes of symmetry in any position, is called a threefold-symmetric Bricard …

A range of modes of mobility for spatial structures can be achieved by selecting the
rotational features of the joints. Similar mechanical characteristics are observed in structures …

This paper deals with the singularities which occur on the compatibility paths of single
degree of freedom finite mechanisms consisting of rigid bars and pin joints. We first examine …

Based on the analogy between bifurcation of equilibrium paths in structures and kinematic
bifurcation of mechanisms, this paper proposes an analogous stiffness method to detect the …

This dissertation is concerned with two problems that lie at the interface of soft-matter
physics, geometry, and asymptotic analysis, but otherwise have no bearing on one another …

Kinematically indeterminate systems are geometrically unstable. Considering that there is
only tiny elastic deformation in the process of the mechanism motion, the method to simulate …

The article deals with topical issues of solving the problem of analyzing the special
provisions of the mechanisms of joint-relative manipulation. The analysis of existing …

Рассматривается актуальные вопросы решение проблемы анализа особых положений

The compatibility paths of mechanisms with a single degree-of-freedom typically form sets of
curves in the global representation space. We classify the different cases of compatibility by …
