The term kinematic structure encompasses all those characteristics of mechanisms which
are determined solely by the pattern of interconnection among the constituent links of the …

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 …

Isomorphism identification of graphs is one of the most important and challenging problems
in the fields of mathematics, computer science and mechanisms, etc. This paper attempts to …

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

Some new concepts, such as the perimeter loop, the maximum perimeter degree-sequence,
and the perimeter topological graph, are first presented in this paper, and the method for …

A number of theories on the relationship between adjacent matrices of isomorphic
mechanism kinematic chains have been investigated. A particular published theory about …

Kinematic chain isomorphism identification is a crucial issue in mechanism topology and an
important application of Graph Isomorphism to mechanisms. In this paper, a kinematic chain …

Structural synthesis of kinematic chains usually involves the creation of a complete list of
kinematic chains, followed by a isomorphism test to discard duplicate chains. A significant …

Based on a new topological graph, the perimeter topological graph, many new primary
concepts are proposed in this paper for the first time, the synthesis of which creates the …

In today's competitive markets, manufacturing systems must quickly respond to changing
customer demands and ever-shorter product life cycles. Traditional transfer lines are …
