This paper summarizes the necessary geometrical fundamentals of polyhedral geometry and presents a historical and critical review of the polyhedral linkage designs available in the literature. Basic definitions of polyhedral geometry and operations are needed to comprehend and design polyhedral linkages. First, early works on polyhedral linkages are presented, where flexible polyhedra with rigid faces and flexible edges are issued. The final part is reserved to conformal polyhedral linkages, which go through shape transformations while plane, dihedral and solid angles are preserved. Conformal polyhedral linkages are examined in four categories: 1) Jitterbug-like linkages with screwing polygonal links connected to each other with dihedral angle preserving links, 2) polyhedral linkages with planar kinematic chains in radial motion planes, 3) polyhedral linkages with planar kinematic chains on faces, that are connected to each other with dihedral angle preserving links, and 4) other conformal polyhedral linkages. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.Conference Object Mechanisms, Transmissions and Applications(Springer, 2018) Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; İtik, Mehmet; Lovasz, Erwin-Christian; Kiper, GökhanThis volume contains the proceedings of MeTrApp 2017, the 4th Conference on Mechanisms, Transmissions and Applications, that was held in Trabzon, Turkey, July 3-5, 2017. The topics treated in this volume are Mechanism Design, Parallel Manipulators, Control Applications, Mechanical Transmissions, Cam Mechanisms, and Dynamics of Machinery. The conference was organised by the IFToMM Technical Committees for “Linkages and Mechanical Controls” and “Gearing and Transmissions” under the patronage of the IFToMM and sponsorship of Karadeniz Technical University, Izmir Institute of Technology and IFToMM Turkey (MAKTED). The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers, scientists, industry experts and students to provide, in a friendly and stimulating environment, the opportunity to exchange know-how and promote collaboration in the field of Mechanism and Machine Science.
