... have been called Assur kinematic chains (AKCs). The determination of all the assembly modes of any structure can be implemented by exploiting a set of algorithms that solve all the AKCs ( 1 ). The algorithms that analytically calculate all the assembly modes of the AKCs up to three loops have been...
