Abstract

Deployment chassis is to solve the contradiction between the performance requirements and the volume constraints. Based on graph theory, different representation methods of mechanism such as joint codes, topological graph and matrices and so on and topological analysis process of mechanism is discussed. According to topological analysis process, deployment chassis of Nomad is analyzed in details. The topological graphs and the adjacent matrices are presented and the characteristic of basic units are analyzed. The results of this study could provide another method of conceptual design for configurations innovation.
