Abstract
In this series of four papers we present pure vectorial methods in establishing the configuration, kinematics and dynamics of some of the four-link spatial mechanisms. In Part 1, the method of vector decomposition is used to establish the configurations of the R-G-G-R and H-R-G-R mechanisms, respectively.
