Direct Position Analysis of a Reconfigurable 4-DOF Parallel Mechanism

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article presents a direct position analysis of a reconfigurable 2PRS-2PUS parallel mechanism. Based on the structural features of this new mechanism, take the absolute coordinates of the four balls vice center on movable platform as the output variables, a direct position analysis which using elimination method is presented. The solution is verified by a group of numerical examples, which given by matlab. In addition, graphical representations of the real solutions are presented.
