In our previous paper, we presented the combinatorial theory for minimal isostatic pinned frameworks-Assur graphs-which arise in the analysis of mechanical linkages. In this paper we further explore the geometric properties of Assur graphs, with a focus on singular realizations which have static self-stresses. We provide a new geometric characterization of Assur graphs, based on special singular realizations. These singular positions are then related to dead-end positions in which an associated mechanism with an inserted driver will stop or jam. |
