Complementing this approach, research into metamorphic parallel mechanisms has yielded unified kinematics models that support multiple operational modalities—ranging from pure rotation to ...

Kinematic chains, comprising interconnected rigid links and joints, form the backbone of mechanism design. Recent advances in synthesis methods have increasingly relied on graph theory to provide ...

Design and kinematic analysis of mechanisms. Course topics include linkage synthesis and motion analysis (position, velocity and acceleration), cam, gear and power train design, and technical ...

His research interests include kinematic synthesis and analysis, robotics and multi-degree-of-freedom mechanisms. Pennock’s awards and recognitions include the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ...

The latest parallel kinematic mechanisms — hexapods — are significantly more accurate and dynamically stable than old iterations. Put them to work in your next positioning application to ...

To develop injury prevention methods based on this mechanism, a more precise description is needed. Objective To describe the detailed joint kinematics in a slip-catch situation using a model-based ...
