In general, for a complex engineering structure with a large number of nodes or members, the inherent symmetry is not easily recognizable. Even though someone succeeds in recognizing certain symmetry properties of the structure, these might be partial ones, and the others will be possibly unnoticed. To overcome this difficulty and enable the integration of computational analysis and symmetry methods,...
Some cases of kinematic behavior of deployable scissor-hinge structures, which consist of link members and pivot and hinge joints, have been investigated. However, few have concerned the inherent symmetry and potential interference of these structures. Here we present a new mode of integral mechanism for symmetric structures. Adopting this integral mechanism mode, the algorithm of kinematic analysis...
