Abstract:
A new type of mechanism, which changes its configuration and
subsequently its mobility during motion, is discussed, Based on the mathematical description of the configuration changes, a set of matrix
operations in the configuration changes are utilised, and a method in
synthesising a metamorphic mechanism is proposed, From a final structure
of the mechanism with its corresponding adjacency matrix, different
combinations of links are investigated, The structure synthesis with
link addition is then related to the binary operations in the
corresponding matrix transformation, which presents the change of
corresponding configurations. New mechanisms are then produced and the
isomorphism is used to reduce the number of optional results.
Key words:
Metamorphic mechanism Configuration change Synthesis
Graph theory Adjacent matrix Matrix operation
