Abstract: Any plane multi-link non-dyad
complex mechanism can be transformed into dyad mechanism with
increasing number of degrees-of-freedom by the method of
imaginarily disconnecting certain links and pairs. According to
the geometric identity conditions established for the
transformed dyad mechanism. The position analysis of the
original mechanism can be carried out with high accuracy via
successive linear interpolation. According to the velocity and
acceleration identity conditions, the velocity and acceleration
analysis of the original mechanism can be readily accomplished
via the principle of linear superposition. This method of
kinematic analysis is quite easy and general. In the paper two
examples are given to show the effectiveness of method.
