Solving the double-banana rigidity problem: a loop-based approach

Rigidity detection is an important tool for structural synthesis of mechanisms, as it helps to unveil possible sources of inconsistency in Grübler's count of degrees of freedom (DOFs) and thus to generate consistent kinematical models of complex mechanisms. One case that has puzzled researc...
