Abstract
During motion, the topology of some special industrial
mechanisms may change due to intermittent contact joints,
leading to addition, deletion or modification of constraints.
The bases of a general computer-aided simulation approach
for mechanisms with changing topology are developed in this
paper. Relative coordinates are used to describe in a unified
way the properties of either lower-pair or higher-pair contact
joints. The equations governing the motion of the mechanism
are obtained by the Hamilton canonical formulation which is
useful to solve the impact problem consecutive to collisions.
A set of strategies is developed to automatically predict the
modifications of topology in order to perform a continuous
dynamic simulation.
