Abstract

Recently, we developed a novel approach to the problem of geometric design of 5-SS platform linkages such that its moving points are constrained on a sphere or a plane. Dual quaternions are used to obtain the bilinear design equations with seven design variables, which can be further recast into a linear equation with 16 design variables with a set of simple proportional relationships. This leads to a novel algorithm that reduces the kinematic design problem to that of null space analysis followed by a generalized eigenvalue problem. In this paper, we show that the same approach leads to a unified algorithm for synthesizing planar, spherical and spatial Bennet mechanisms with four revolute joints as over-constrained four-revolute jointed mechanisms in three dimensional space. Numerical examples are given in the end.
