Hypo-paradoxical Linkages: Linkages That Should Move-But Don't
Abstract
While paradoxical linkages famously violate the Chebyshev-Grubler-Kutzbach criterion by exhibiting unexpected mobility, we identify an opposing phenomenon: a class of linkages that appear mobile according to the same criterion, yet are in fact rigid. We refer to these as hypo-paradoxical linkages, and proceed to analyze and illustrate their behavior. We use the same tools to further explain the unexpected positive mobility of Bennet mechanism.
