Abstract
The authors consider the use of the graph method as structural analysis, using the mechanism of the famous artist Theo Jansen as an example. On the one hand, his work serves as an interesting piece of kinetic art using pure energy, wind power, and on the other hand, it has inventive solutions in the field of biomechanical engineering. This combination can refer simultaneously to several areas of the world’s Sustainable Development Goals articulated in the United Nations 2030 Agenda. These include good health and well-being (SDG 3), affordable and clean energy (SDG 7). This intersection of topics has led authors to become more interested in the dissemination and use of the graph method as a simple and versatile way of carrying out structural analysis of mechanical systems, which is the starting point at the beginning of any study of mechanisms.
