| Abstract | The kinematics of rigid body mechanisms is considered from a differential-geometric perspective. Geometric properties of a mechanism are intrinsically determined by the topology of its configuration space — the solution set of closure functions. The mechanism kinematics is usually characterized by the tangent space and tangent cone to the configuration space, i.e. by locally considering its topology. There are, however, mechanisms for which this is not sufficient. Generally, beside the topology, a complete picture of the kinematics needs both, the configuration space and the ideal generated by the closure functions. Tangent spaces/cones are differential-geometric objects associated to a variety. Two additional objects are introduced in this paper: the kinematic tangent space and the kinematic tangent cone. Three locally equivalent models for the mechanism kinematics are introduced. Due to their different mathematical nature the different models admit to apply specific mathematical tools. The analysis of model I is based on Lie group and screw algebraic methods, while model II and III are analyzed using methods from algebraic geometry. A computationally efficient algorithm for the construction of the kinematic tangent cone is presented. Its application is shown for several examples. A novel mechanism is presented of which the differential and local degree of freedom are different in regular points, so-called ‘paradox-in-the-small’. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
