...Rongjiang Cui; Zhizheng Ye; Shifu Xu; Chuanyu Wu; Liang Sun The structural synthesis of planar kinematic chains (KCs) with prismatic pairs (P-pairs) is the basis of innovating mechanisms containing P-pairs. In the literature, only a little research has been carried out to synthesize planar KCs...

...Chin-Hsing Kuo; Jian S. Dai This paper describes the structure synthesis of a special class of parallel manipulators with fully decoupled motion, that is, a one-to-one correspondence between the instantaneous motion space of the end-effector and the joint space of the manipulator. A notable finding...

...Liang Sun; Zhizheng Ye; Rongjiang Cui; Wenjian Yang; Chuanyu Wu An important step in the structural synthesis of kinematic chains (KCs) or mechanisms is the detection of isomorphic structures. Although many detection methods have been proposed, most of them require complex computations and have...
