| Abstract | Mechanical systems, especially those which exhibit intermittent motions, provide a good basis for the investigation of device behaviors. A key observation is that the spatial configuration of such systems changes periodically. So far only simple links or conduits as in deKleer [3] have been used to model the connection between a pair of objects in the device-oriented approach. We offer a solution which uses a separate representational entity, called the connection frame, to model the spatial relationships between a pair of objects and how those relationships achieve force or velocity propagation. The connection representation is assumed supplied as part of the design knowledge of the mechanism, though i t could be just as readily computed by other spatial connection determination methods. We describe a framework constructed to simulate the behaviors of both ordinary and intermittent mechanical systems, with an emphasis on force and velocity propagation reasoning. In general, it appears that continuous motion can usually be modeled by velocity propagation while intermittent motion is best approached by force propagation. |
