..., and (iv) the material. We present a design software program with a graphical user interface for interactive design. A case-study that describes the design procedure in detail is also presented while additional case-studies are posted on a website. The characteristics of a piezoelectric actuator...

... of tripod-based PKMs. These design tools have been individually developed in different languages and development environments, and are integrated seamlessly using a JAVA -based platform. Users can access all the design tools through a friendly graphical user interface (GUI). It is the first computer-aided...

... a surface in space. It is shown that the coupler surface of the spatial 4C mechanism is a ruled surface with 16 th degree directrices. An interactive graphical user interface has been created and integrated with kinematic analysis routines to generate and interactively display these coupler surfaces...
