  • A coordinate-free approach to tracing the coupler curves of pin-jointed linkages 

    Rojas Libreros, Nicolás Enrique; Thomas, Federico (ASME PRESS, 2011)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In general, high-order coupler curves of plane mechanisms cannot be properly traced by standard predictor-corrector algorithms due to drifting problems and the presence of singularities. Instead of focusing on finding ...
