• Intent- driven Correspondence and Registration of Shapes 

      Krishnamurthy, Hariharan (2018-05-29)
      Registration means to bring two or more shapes into a suitable relative configuration (position and orientation). In its major applications like 3D scan alignment, the aim is to coalesce data and regions originating from ...
    • Modular Kinematic Analysis Of Planar Linkages 

      Chowdary, Sekhar V S C (2009-04-24)
      This thesis has developed an efficient methodology for automatic kinematic analysis of planar linkages using the concept of modular kinematics. Unlike conventional general purpose kinematic analysis packages where each joint ...
    • Motion Space Analysis of Smooth Objects in Point Contacts 

      Rama Krishna, K (2018-07-19)
      The present work studies instantaneous motion of smooth planar and spatial objects in unilateral point contacts. The traditional first-order instantaneous kinematic analysis is found insufficient to explain many common ...
    • Multi-linear Disassembly Path Determination: A Geometric Approach 

      Sathua, Chandra Sekhar
      This thesis presents a geometric approach for determining the orientation-preserving disassembly paths of polyhedral assembly components. Exact disassembly path determination of the components is essential because the ...
    • Systematic Synthesis And Analysis Of Multi-DOF Toggle Mechanisms For Electrical Switches 

      Deb, Manan (2015-12-07)
      Electrical switches are ubiquitous. Performance requirement for a switch is stringent. The operating mechanism mostly decides the performance of an electromechanical switch. However, design of such mechanisms, which involve ...
