Abstract
The present work is focused on the graph theory which is used for structural analysis of kinematic chain and identification of degree of freedom. A method based on graph theory is proposed in this paper to solve structural problems by using a suitable example of fourteen links kinematic chain. Purpose of this paper is to give an easy and reliable method for structural analysis of fourteen links kinematic chain. Here, a simple incidence matrix is used to represent the kinematic chain. The proposed method is applied for determining the characteristic polynomial equation of fourteen links kinematic chain. An algebraic test based on graph theory is also used for identifying degree of freedom of kinematic chain whether it is total, partial or fractionated degree of freedom.
