A comprehensive evaluation framework for kinematic performance of parallel mechanisms based on joint transmissibility and multi-attribute decision making methods

Gaohan Zhu et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on two key aspects of performance evaluation in parallel mechanisms: using generalized angles to evaluate joint transmissibility, and establishing a systematic and comprehensive evaluation method. Multiple indices are proposed to reveal performance limitations by a single index. The paper also develops procedures for determining reasonable weights, selecting appropriate indices, and aggregating them for a comprehensive evaluation. The effectiveness and rationality of the new method are verified through a case study on a 3-RUU parallel mechanism.

Contact-impact events with friction in multibody dynamics: Back to basics

Paulo Flores et al.

Summary: This paper aims to provide a comprehensive description of the modeling of collisions in multibody dynamics. The paper critically analyzes the aspects of contact geometry, contact detection, and contact resolution procedures, with particular attention given to the continuous models for treating frictional contacts. It also examines the numerical ingredients associated with contact-impact events in multibody systems in order to discuss computational accuracy and efficiency. Application examples are provided to highlight the key features related to the modeling process of frictional contacts and impacts in multibody systems.

Novel bundle folding deployable mechanisms to realize polygons and polyhedrons

Caizhi Zhou et al.

Summary: In this paper, a series of deployable polygon mechanisms (DGMs) and deployable polyhedron mechanisms (DPMs) are proposed. A new plane-symmetric 7R unit with folded lateral edges is introduced, along with the design of N-pyramid, N-frustum, and a larger DPM. A new RRR chain is proposed to connect existing deployable units, using the threefold Bricard mechanism and alternative Bennett mechanism as examples. A general frame is proposed to design 1 DOF deployable mechanisms based on the continuation method, with improvements in accuracy, speed, and generality. The polyhedron net method and the least joint angle method are proposed to fold a polyhedron into a bundle and reduce the number of links, joints, and DOF in DPMs.

Nonlinear dynamic modeling and analysis of spur gear based on gear compatibility conditions

Haonan Li et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new dynamic model with a more realistic dynamic mesh force based on gear compatibility conditions, applicable to gear systems with or without tooth modification and verified by the finite element method. Compared to the traditional model, the proposed model shows higher vibration amplitudes and dynamic mesh forces at most speeds, especially in the bifurcation, quasi-periodic, and chaotic regions.

Mechanical Compliance and Dynamic Load Isolation Design of Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Locomotion Assistance

Hongwu Li et al.

Summary: Misalignments between exoskeletons and human joints can lead to interference and undesired interaction forces in locomotion. The weight and inertia of exoskeletons also result in rapid changes in impact forces on the wearer. To address these issues, a novel lower limb exoskeleton with a constant-force suspension mechanism and self-adapting compliant joints is proposed. Experimental results demonstrate improved performance in reducing impact forces and misalignments during locomotion.

Analysis of structural design defects in parallel overloading mechanisms with cam transmission mechanism

Weibin Lan et al.

Summary: In this paper, the design defects of the cam transmission mechanism caused by geometric characteristics are analyzed, and self-contained defect identification algorithms are proposed. A complete algorithm based on these algorithms is designed to identify design defects in the cam curve groove. The feasibility of the identification algorithm is validated by numerical examples, showing that the appropriate processing method and component size design directly affect the dynamic behavior of the cam transmission mechanism.

Spatial-Temporal Motion Control via Composite Cam-follower Mechanisms

Yingjie Cheng et al.

Summary: Researchers have proposed composite cam-follower mechanisms that can precisely control the spatial-temporal motions of mechanical automata, and have developed a computational technique to model, design, and optimize these mechanisms. By using this technique, it is possible to design and optimize the geometry and layout of mechanical automata to achieve target spatial-temporal motions, demonstrating results that cannot be achieved by conventional mechanisms.

Revelation of metamorphic phenomenon through the equivalent mechanisms and development of the novel metamorphic epicyclic gear trains

Hui Yuan et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the metamorphic phenomenon of epicyclic gear trains and introduces a set of novel metamorphic epicyclic gear trains with variable motion branches and changed configurations for the first time. By using equivalent mechanisms and instantaneous screw axes, kinematic models, constraint conditions, configurations and motion branches of the epicyclic gear train are identified. The application of metamorphic epicyclic gear mechanisms is demonstrated through the design of a metamorphic epicyclic bevel gear clamping mechanism.

Kinematic comparison of single degree-of-freedom robotic gait trainers

Jeonghwan Lee et al.

Summary: By evaluating different bar configurations, it was found that the eight-bar design performed significantly better in terms of trajectory error compared to the four- and six-bar designs. However, there were no significant differences in terms of path error and mechanical advantage between configurations. It was concluded that the optimized eight-bar configuration is most effective when connected to a constant velocity actuator.
