Geometry and dynamics of planar linkages
In this article we present an approach to describing the geometry and curvature of the configuration spaces of a class of simple idealized planar linkages. This is based on determining the curvature of such configuration spaces canonically embedded into Euclidean space, and then the behaviour of the dynamics of such linkages can be understood via the associated geodesic flow. Our objective is t...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Singular Foci of Planar Linkages
The focal points of a curve traced by a planar linkage capture essential information about the curve. In a previous paper, we showed how to determine the singular foci of planar linkages from an expression for the tracing curve derived by use of the Dixon determinant. This paper gives an alternative approach to finding the singular foci, one that lends itself to simple geometric interpretations...
متن کاملMultibody Dynamics Simulation of Planar Linkages with Dahl Friction
It is well known that classical Coulomb dry friction model does not portrays important physical phenomena occurring in the contact between mating surfaces. Moreover, the discontinuity of force at zero velocity has many drawbacks during numerical simulations. In the attempt of exploring alternatives to Coulomb friction model, this paper present the application of the Dahl friction model in a mul...
متن کاملPlanar Linkages and Algebraic Sets
An abstract linkage is a one dimensional simplicial complex L with a positive number `(vw) assigned to each edge vw. A planar realization of an abstract linkage (L, `) is a mapping φ from the vertices of L to C so that |φ(v) − φ(w)| = `(vw) for all edges vw. We will investigate the topology of the space of planar realizations of linkages. You may think of an abstract linkage as an ideal mechani...
متن کاملSingular Foci of Planar Linkages
The focal points of a curve traced by a planar linkage capture essential information about the curve. Knowledge of the singular foci can be helpful in the design of path-generating linkages and is essential to the determination of path cognates. This paper shows how to determine the singular foci of planar linkages built with rotational links. The method makes use of a general formulation of th...
