Structural Representation of Reconfigurable Linkages
This paper presents adjacency matrix originated three-dimensional matrix for structural representation of mechanisms by integrating binary string in the sense of displacement subgroup theory. The improved elementary matrix operation for expressing of topological transformation of metamorphic mechanism is integrated in the threedimensional matrix representation. A novel reconfigurable eight-bar linkage employing variableaxis revolute joints is proposed and the threedimensional matrix for each working phase is expressed to reveal the distinct geometry. The improved elementary matrix operation is used to express the topological transformation of a metamorphic eight-bar linkage and to identify the effectiveness of the operation.
