Application of Maxcode Algorithm for the Enumeration of Kinematic Chains of 9 Links and 2 Degree of Freedom

摘要

The enormous applications of kinematic chains (Mechanisms) has lead to more scope in the structural synthesis of the same. The interdisciplinary applications like in mechatronics, dental, medical (especially in human bone fractures), ergonomic design of machinery, physiotherapy machines, industrial robots, increased use of robots in every field, atomization in the industry etc. in almost every field the kinematic chain, being the basic element is necessary. Hence the more concentration is given to enumerate the feasible kinematic chains. The coding (Maxcode) methodology adopted for the enumeration of feasible, nonisomorphic, distinct kinematic chains has given an added advantage in the enumeration process by eliminating the infeasible, isomorphic chains during the process of enumeration. The present paper presents the methodology and the results of enumeration of nine link two degree of freedom kinematic chains.
