IDENTIFICATION OF ISOMORPHISM OF KINEMATIC CHAINS USING DIFFERENT KINEMATIC PAIRS

Mechanical engineering design involves intuition, experience, process analysis syntheses. In this paper, an attempt has been made to provide to identification of isomorphism among the kinematic chains using different kinematic pairs, by considering the examples of pump mechanisms for a manual hand pump and nosewheel assembly for a small aircraft. By using link-link form of the modify adjacency matrix and elements of the matrix was chosen as one and zero depending on the absence or presence of a connection in between the joints. The proposed method is applied for determining the characteristic polynomial equations of these mechanisms and comparing manual hand pump to the nose wheel assembly for detecting the isomorphism.
