Excerpt from Innovative Shape Design: A Configuration Space Approach
Kinematic pairs are of great importance in mechanical design since they constitute the elementary building blocks of mechanical devices. In this paper, we deal with the design of composite kinematic pairs. Simple kinematic pairs, such as prismatic joints, screw-bolt pairs have a single kinematic behavior describable as a rotation or a translation (or a combination of both) around a fixed axis in space. Composite kinematic pairs. On the other hand can have several different kinematic behaviors along a number of axes.
In designing kinematic pairs, we distinguish between two variants of the design task: new design and redesign. In new design, for a given description of the desired kinematic behavior of the pair, the goal is to determine the precise shapes of the two objects that achieve this behavior. In redesign, in addition to the desired kinematic behavior, initial shapes for the two objects are also given. The goal is then to modify the given shapes of the objects to obtain the desired behavior. The theory presented in this paper deals with both variants uniformly.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a systematic theory for automated design of elementary kinematic pairs. It details a novel methodology for designing or modifying shapes of objects in kinematic pairs, building upon the author's previous work on first principles of shape and kinematic function. Unlike previous work, the author broadens the scope to cases where the desired behavior is given in qualitative or causal terms. The book includes analysis of the kinematic behavior of a given mechanism, the design of new mechanisms, and redesign of existing mechanisms to achieve a desired kinematic behavior. The theory, based on configuration spaces, connects object geometry and kinematic behavior, enabling reasoning about the shape of objects and their relation to kinematic behavior. The author presents a general backtracking algorithm for the design of kinematic pairs, examining cases where both objects have translational degrees of freedom, as well as convex objects. This book is essential reading for researchers and practitioners in mechanical design, robotics, and related disciplines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
