Abstract

This paper presents a method for performing RSSR-SC mechanism displacement analysis. The benefit of this method is that it provides a practical alternative for performing RSSR-SC mechanism displacement analysis and is fully applicable with today's mathematics software. This method is an extension of the adjustable RSSR-SC synthesis method developed by the authors [1]. By utilizing the passive degree of freedom of the coupler of the RSSR mechanism and its design Equations [2,3], the design Equations for the remaining C-S link of the RSSR-SC mechanism were developed using spatial transformation matrices under the constant length and orthogonality constraints of the C-S link. The angular rotations about the coupler of the RSSR mechanism satisfying these constraint Equations of the C-S link were calculated numerically. As an example, the displacement of a series of rigid body points on the coupler of a synthesized RSSR-SC mechanism was calculated for a range of driving link angles.
