The Theory of Bonds: A New Method for the Analysis of Linkages
Published 18 Jun 2012 in math.AG, cs.RO, math.MG, and math.RA | (1206.4020v5)
Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new technique, based on dual quaternions, for the analysis of closed linkages with revolute joints: the theory of bonds. The bond structure comprises a lot of information on closed revolute chains with a one-parametric mobility. We demonstrate the usefulness of bond theory by giving a new and transparent proof for the well-known classification of overconstrained 5R linkages.
