Abstract

The fundamentals of a new methodology for kinematic analysis of planar lever mechanisms are presented in this paper. The methodology is based on the representation of a mechanism as a set of two-, one-, and zero-link initial structural units. A distinctive feature of the described methodology is that the analysis of any multi-link planar mechanism is carried out, as the calculation mainly involves the sets of one- and two-link primary structural units of which this mechanism consists. At the same time, the difficult task of identifying assembly options in mechanisms with multi-link Assur groups is virtually solved. The methodology is focused on the automatic generation of algorithms and programs for mechanisms computer simulation.
