Abstract
In Chapter 2 it was shown that there are two principal classes of factors to be considered in an AMS:
-
structural parameters, which are constant and determine the characteristics and organization of the constituent parts.
-
articulated variables, which allow a mechanism to change its geometry; they are directly associated with the actuators and with the controls of the system.
