Abstract

In dead-center positions, a mechanism loses its mobility and has zero mechanical advantage. Based on the concept of instant centers, we develop a methodology to generate planar linkage mechanisms in dead-center positions. This methodology also can be applied to generate planar toggle linkage mechanisms. All possible configurations of six-bar planar linkage mechanisms, with one degree of freedom, in dead-center positions are listed.
