Model Formulation of Complex Mechanisms With Multiple Inputs: Part I—Geometry

Abstract
As the first of two companion papers for the analysis of multi-degree of freedom mechanisms, this as Part 1 treats the geometry in terms of the subunit Assur groups. Explicit matrix formulations are given to establish the intermediate and total influence coefficients of the system geometry. A detailed presentation is given for the two-degree of freedom five-bar linkage to illustrate the application of the general formulation.
