Abstract
Abstract. In this paper, a new synthesis method of 2R3T (R denotes rotation and T denotes translation) overconstrained and non-overconstrained parallel mechanisms (PMs) with three branched chains based on the displacement sub-manifold method is presented. Firstly, the displacement sub-manifolds of mechanisms were determined based on 2R3T motions. Subsequently, the displacement sub-manifolds of the branched chains were derived using the displacement sub-manifold theory, and their corresponding motion diagrams were provided. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis of non-overconstrained 2R3T PMs with a single-constraint branched chain was conducted, and the type synthesis of overconstrained 2R3T PMs with two or three identical constraints was also performed, accompanied by the presentation of partial mechanism diagrams. Finally, the number of DOF (degrees of freedom) of the mechanism was calculated using the modified Kutzbach–Grübler equation for a new PMs,and the screw theory was used to verify the kinematic characteristics, proving this new method's correctness.
期刊介绍:
The journal Mechanical Sciences (MS) is an international forum for the dissemination of original contributions in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. Its main ambition is to provide a platform for young researchers to build up a portfolio of high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles. To this end we employ an open-access publication model with moderate page charges, aiming for fast publication and great citation opportunities. A large board of reputable editors makes this possible. The journal will also publish special issues dealing with the current state of the art and future research directions in mechanical sciences. While in-depth research articles are preferred, review articles and short communications will also be considered. We intend and believe to provide a means of publication which complements established journals in the field.
