Kinematics software that helps synthesize four-bar linkages and related mechanisms has been around for decades. But this software specialty recently became more interesting thanks to work by ...

Mechanical linkages are fundamentally important for the transfer of motion through assemblies of parts to perform work. Whereas their behavior in macroscale systems is well understood, there are open ...

Think of reciprocating motion, and cams — those kings of kinematic linkages — may come to mind. For good reason: Cams have been the traditional gold standard for reciprocating motion since the dawn of ...
