description

In this paper matrix notation is used to develop a computational algorithm for position analysis of spatial mechanisms having revolute (R) and prismatic (P) pairs. Since all lower pairs are equivalent to some combination of R and P pairs, the method works for spatial mechanisms containing any lower pair. By using the method, spatial mechanisms are describable by simple equations which are easily programmable.
