“…The automatic sketching of kinematic chains has been constantly investigated during the following years [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68] and it is still an open and interesting problem.…”

This paper celebrates a particular branch of Crossley's early work dedicated to Mechanism Science, which deals with a rigorous introduction of Graph Theory to the study of some fundamental and intrinsic properties of kinematic chains and mechanisms. Although such idea gave its main outcome in Type and Number Synthesis (which has been much better and extensively described in another paper of the present special issue) some other intriguing side effects appeared, later in Mechanism Science, which yielded several results, and are still in the center of research and industrial world interest, such as, to name but a few, the automatic generation of the equations governing kinematic, static force and dynamic analysis of mechanisms and geared trains, the power flow analysis, the computation of the efficiency and, finally, the never fully explored structure-to-function mapping, which the present contribution points out to be still a challenge in the field

The sketching of mechanisms (kinematic chains) shows designers a visual understanding of the interrelationship among links and joints in mechanical design, but sketching of mechanisms in manually in conceptual design stage is time-consuming and inefficient. In this paper, a fully-automatic method for sketching of planar simple and multiple joint kinematic chains is proposed. First, the complete sets of the topological structures (topological graphs and contracted graphs) of both simple and multiple joint kinematic chains are introduced. Then an algorithm for the layouts of the contracted graphs with minimal edge crossings is proposed. Third, the expression set of binary sub-paths derived from a topological graph is obtained for the sketching of the simple joint kinematic chain, and based on the sketching of the simple joint kinematic chains the sketching of corresponding multiple joint kinematic chains is obtained. Finally, both simple and multiple joint kinematic chains with numbers of links and numbers of basic loops are provided in batch as examples to show the effectiveness of the method.
