In approximate function generation synthesis methods, error between the desired function’s output and designed mechanism’s output oscillate about zero error while crossing the zero error margin at precision points. The ...

İki serbestlik dereceli düzlemsel 5R (R: döner mafsal) mekanizmasının uç noktasının işlevsel çalışma alanına göre mekanizma tasarımı çok farklı başarım ölçütlerine göre yapılabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada uç noktasının yerleşimi ...

This paper presents a closed-form solution to the four-position synthesis problem by using a spatial slider, which is a spatial dyad of two perpendicularly intersected cylindrical joints. We utilize the dialytic elimination ...

This study focuses on conceptual design alternatives for a planar high-speed/high-precision manipulator in terms of mechanism structure, control strategy, and drive system selection. These concepts are investigated ...

A kinesthetic haptic device’s performance relies on unpowered, powered and controlled system characteristics. In this paper, a critical review is carried out for the well-known metrics for kinematics, stiffness and dynamic ...

The Bennett overconstrained 6R linkages are the double-planar, the double-spherical and the plano-spherical 6R linkages. These mechanisms are obtained by combining simple planar and/or spher-ical mechanisms and then removing ...

Conventional planar laser cutting machines cannot achieve high accelerations, because the required precision values cannot be achieved due to the high inertial loads. Machines configured as kinematically redundant mechanisms ...

This thesis study investigates the front window mechanism used in an earth moving machinery. Since the mechanism is actuated by the operator, the required actuation force for the mechanism needs to be as minimum as ...

Portable ramps, used generally by wheelchair users, offer temporary solution to increase accessibility and mobility. It is expected that these ramps should be compact and lightweight in terms of ease of handling and storage. ...

In this thesis, the possibility of constructing reconfigurable deployable structure composed of planar linkage units has been explored. The first part of the thesis is devoted to literature survey on housing recovery. When ...
