The creative design of mechanisms has been widely believed as one of the most important
branches in the theory of mechanisms. Beside, the structural synthesis of kinematic chains …

Abstract Number synthesis of kinematic chains is one of the major steps in the structural
synthesis or conceptual design of mechanisms. The work presents a comprehensive …

To broaden the methods of configuration synthesis, this study proposes a new method for
configuration synthesis and screening of multiple closed-loop unit tandem mechanisms …

The synthesis of all feasible topological (kinematic) structures of kinematic chains still has
broad research spaces although various methods have been developed in the past fifty …

Detection of isomorphism in planar and geared kinematic chains (GKCs) is an interesting
area since many years. Enumeration of planar and geared kinematic chains becomes easy …

Small jumping robots widely adopt complex catapult mechanisms. This paper presents a
novel jumping strategy using dead point instead of traditional catapult mechanisms …

It is of great importance in the conceptual creative design of mechanical systems to
synthesize as many feasible kinematic structures of mechanisms as possible. However, the …

A novel method for eliminating isomorphism identification is proposed to improve synthesis
efficiency and synthesize planar nonfractionated kinematic chain (KCs) automatically. This …

Isomorphism of kinematic chains (KCs) has always been a critical issue for the researchers
dealing with structural synthesis. Consequently, many researchers of repute presented …

This paper proposes an automatic method to synthesize planar non-fractionated kinematic
chains with two multiple joints, which are generated from kinematic chains with one multiple …
