Abstract
A closure equation, in terms of matrices with dual-number elements, for spatial five-link mechanisms, is presented in this paper. From the equation, a set of displacement equations for a RCRCR mechanism with general proportions is obtained; the input-output relationship is expressed as a fourth-degree algebraic equation and formulas to determine other linkage variables are expressed in closed form.Keywords
