چکیده

In this paper we present an algorithm for enumerating without repetitions all the non-crossing generically minimally rigid bar-and-joint frameworks under edge constraints, which we call constrained non-crossing Laman frameworks, on a given set of n points in the plane. Our algorithm is based on the reverse search paradigm of Avis and Fukuda. It generates each output graph in O(n) time and O(n) space, or, with a slightly different implementation, in O(n) time and O(n) space. In particular, we obtain that the set of all the constrained non-crossing Laman frameworks on a given point set is connected by flips which preserve the Laman property.

Enumerating Planar Minimally Rigid Graphs

We present an algorithm for enumerating without repetitions all the planar (noncrossing) minimally rigid (Laman) graphs embedded on a given generic set of n points. Our algorithm is based on the Reverse search paradigm of Avis and Fukuda. It generates each output graph in O(n) time and O(n) space, or, with a slightly different implementation, in O(n) time and O(n) space. In particular, we obtai...

Enumeration of Optimal Pin-Jointed Bistable Compliant Mechanisms with Non-Crossing Members

An optimization approach is presented for enumerating pin-jointed bistable compliant mechanisms. In the first stage, the statically determinate trusses with non-crossing members containing a given set of nodes and some pre-defined members are regarded as minimally rigid framework or a Laman framework, and are enumerated without repetitions by the graph enumeration algorithm. In the second stage...

Enumerating Constrained Non-crossing Geometric Spanning Trees

In this paper we present an algorithm for enumerating without repetitions all non-crossing geometric spanning trees on a given set of n points in the plane under edge constraints (i.e., some edges are required to be included in spanning trees). We will first prove that a set of all edge-constrained non-crossing spanning trees is connected via remove-add flips, based on the constrained smallest ...

Enumeration of Optimal Pin-Jointed Bistable Compliant Mechanisms

Recently, a new type of mechanism called compliant mechanism has been developed and applied mainly in the field of micro-mechanics. A compliant mechanism has flexible parts to stabilize the structure, which is contrary to the conventional unstable mechanism. Although a compliant mechanism is usually modeled as a continuum with elastic joints, it is possible to generate the similar mechanism by ...

Rigidity of Frameworks Supported on Surfaces

A theorem of Laman gives a combinatorial characterisation of the graphs that admit a realisation as a minimally rigid generic bar-joint framework in R. A more general theory is developed for frameworks in R whose vertices are constrained to move on a two-dimensional smooth submanifold M. Furthermore, when M is a union of concentric spheres, or a union of parallel planes or a union of concentric...
