Abstract

This paper presents a unified design equation for the type and dimensional synthesis of spatial SS, ES and SE dyads for the motion synthesis problems, where S stands for a spherical and E stands for a planar joint. While there has been a lot of research on dimensional synthesis of planar and spherical mechanisms, little work has been done on the type and dimensional synthesis of spatial mechanisms. In this paper, we show that we can derive a single algebraic equation to represent geometric constraints of each of the SS, ES, and SE spatial dyads. While this design equation represents geometric constraints redundantly, explicit mechanical constraints have to be applied to extract the type and dimensional parameters of dyads during synthesis. A two-step algorithm is used to first algebraically fit the given pose constraints of the moving platform and then constraints are applied to obtain type and dimensions. The algebraic fitting is performed using singular value decomposition and candidate sets of solution vectors are obtained. While these candidate vectors are capable of representing any type of spatial dyads, quadratic constraints are applied to obtain mechanical dyads. This paper is an extension of our previous work on type and dimensional synthesis of planar dyads formed with R (Revolute) and P (Prismatic) joints.
