kinematic synthesis of a trailing six-member mechanism has been carried out to achieve five precision points of an automotive steering mechanism. the inner wheel can be rotated up to forty five degrees with fair accuracy. results show that the divergent end behavior of ackermann steering mechanism has been overcome by the present mechanism. the work is similar to earlier work by the present aut...

various methods for parametric interpolation of nurbs curves have been proposed in the past. however, the errors caused by the approximate nature of the nurbs interpolator were rarely taken into account. this paper proposes an integrated look-ahead algorithm for parametric interpolation along nurbs curves. the algorithm interpolates the sharp corners on the curve with the pythagorean-hodograph ...
