Kinematic joints are classified in lower pairs and higher pairs. Most multibody modelling
techniques focus on lower pairs, because a complete classification in six types is available …

This paper for the first time investigates a family of line-symmetric Bricard linkages by means
of two generated toroids and reveals their intersection that leads to a set of special Bricard …

Epicyclic gear train, a typical higher pair mechanism with one-wheel axis that revolves
around another fixed axis, has been widely used in mechanism design. However, applying …

Spatial link mechanisms with revolute pairs (7R) can be analyzed only on the basis of a
three-bar mechanism with a higher pair in the form of two general tori. These mechanisms …

This paper investigates the instantaneous spatial higher pair to lower pair substitute-
connection which is kinematically equivalent up to acceleration analysis for two smooth …

The paper presents a new solution for motion transmission between two shafts with non-
intersecting axes. The structural considerations fundament the existence in the structure of …

The present articles covers a concept of the creation and testing of assembly systems with
the use of modern CAD and CAE systems on the example of an assembly system designed …

The present study covers the problem of a kinematic analysis of a spatial 5R single DOF
linkage. This mechanism was constructed by combining two 4R universal mechanisms …

В данной статье представлено теоретическое исследование кинематических пар,
известных как «пары катания», используемых во многих областях машиностроения, в …

We present an accurate method to compute the minimum distance between a point and an
elliptical torus, which is called the orthogonal projection problem. The basic idea is to …
