TLDR
The classification of mechanisms is reviewed and their kinematic structure and graph representation discussed in this article, where a mechanism creation based on the separation of structure from function is illustrated and discussed.Abstract:

Kinematic structure of mechanisms revisited
TL;DR: The term kinematic structure encompasses all those characteristics of mechanisms which are determined solely by the pattern of interconnection among the constituent links of the mechanism and hence are independent of metric properties of the mechanisms as discussed by the authors.

Automated conceptual design of mechanisms
Shean Juinn Chiou,Kota Sridhar +1 more
TL;DR: This research made attempts to identify a finite set of design building blocks and to represent them in a manner that enables a rational, and therefore a computable, scheme for creation of mechanisms.

Topological Representations and Characteristics of Variable Kinematic Joints
Hong-Sen Yan,Chin-Hsing Kuo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the topological representations and characteristic analysis of variable kinematic joints have been studied in the context of a mechanism with variable topology, where the topology states of a joint can be expressed symbolically as the joint sequences, graphically the digraphs, and mathematically the matrices.

Canonical numbering of kinematic chains and isomorphism problem: min code
A.G Ambekar,V.P Agrawal +1 more
TL;DR: The concept of minimum code is explained and its properties relevant to kinematic chains are discussed and the decodability of this code positively indicates its possible in cataloguing (storage and retrieval) of kinematics chains and mechanisms.

Synthesis of kinematic structure of geared kinematic chains and other mechanisms
TL;DR: Using network concepts and combinatorial analysis, methods have been developed for the classification and enumeration of mechanisms according to kinematic structure and the application of the theory to one such class (gear transmissions and differential drives).
