In this work, nonlinear optimization models for spatial RRSS mechanism motion generation and axode generation are both applied to develop a single degree of freedom cam mechanism to replicate RRSS coupler motion. As an example, a concept cam mechanism is developed to precisely achieve a group of prescribed solar panel poses originally achieved by an RRSS mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
