Kinematic Synthesis of Planar, Shape-Changing Rigid Body Mechanisms for Design Profiles with Significant Differences in Arc Length

This paper presents a kinematic procedure to synthesize planar mechanisms capable of approximating a shape change defined by a general set of curves. These ``morphing curves'', referred to as design profiles, differ from each other by a combination of displacement in the plane, shape vari...

Kinematic Synthesis of Planar, Shape-Changing Rigid Body Mechanisms for Design Profiles with Significant Differences in Arc Length
description This paper presents a kinematic procedure to synthesize planar mechanisms capable of approximating a shape change defined by a general set of curves. These ``morphing curves'', referred to as design profiles, differ from each other by a combination of displacement in the plane, shape variation, and notable differences in arc length. Where previous rigid-body shape-change work focused on mechanisms composed of rigid links and revolute joints to approximate curves of roughly equal arc length, this work introduces prismatic joints into the mechanisms in order to produce the different desired arc lengths. A method is presented to inspect and compare the profiles so that the regions are best suited for prismatic joints can be identified. The result of this methodology is the creation of a chain of rigid bodies connected by revolute and prismatic joints that can approximate a set of design profiles.
