Abstract:

Is stated the kinematic analysis and synthesis of spherical hinged mechanisms with application of analysis method of spherical triangles. Are obtained expression that defines the positions of output links and their points of spherical four-bar and five-bar hinged mechanisms. Is proved that similar coupler-point curve on surface of sphere would described three four-bar, three five-bar and three six-bar hinged mechanisms.

Keywords: spherical hinged mechanisms; analysis method of spherical triangles; analysis; synthesis.
