Conference Object Kinematic Synthesis of Planar 4-Bar Path Generators for Finite Line Positions(Springer Verlag, 2019) Kiper, Gökhan; Kiper, Gökhan; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAlthough the kinematic synthesis of planar function, point-path and motion gen-erators are vastly studied in the literature, surprisingly synthesis of line-path gen-erators is not formulized in detail. This study presents the formulization of the planar 4-bar line-path generator synthesis problem for up to 5 homologous posi-tions. Numerical examples for 3 and 4 line positions are presented for the illustra-tion of the formulations.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Polyhedral Linkages Obtained as Assemblies of Planar Link Groups(Springer Verlag, 2013) Kiper, Gökhan; Kiper, Gökhan; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe study aims to devise means of obtaining polyhedral linkages for homothetic deployment of polyhedral shapes by embedding planar link groups in faces of the polyhedral shape of interest. The questions of which polyhedral shapes may be suitable for such a pur-pose and what are the compatibility conditions for spatially assembling planar link groups are addressed. Homohedral and tangential polyhedral shapes are found to be suitable for the task and some examples of linkages are worked out.Book Part Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Kinematic Design of a Reconfigurable Deployable Canopy(Springer Verlag, 2014) Kiper, Gökhan; Gürcü, Fulya; Korkmaz, Koray; Kiper, Gökhan; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02. Faculty of ArchitectureA reconfigurable and deployable mechanism is proposed for a canopy which can also be used as a tent or a semi-open structure. The proposed single degree-of-freedom mechanism has four as-sembly modes. The conditions for deployment and reconfiguration of the mechanism are derived. These conditions impose three equality and two inequality constraints on the 11 design parameters of the mechanism. A virtual model of the mechanism is constructed in Excel for design and simulation purposes. A computational case study is presented.
