Abstract: A new type of mechanism, which changes its con-figiiration and subsequently its mobiiity during motion, is clis-cussed, Based on the matherrmtical description of the configuration changes, a set of matrix operations in the configuration changes are utilised, and a method in synthesising a metamorphic mechanism is proposed, From a final structure of the mechanism with its corresponding adjacency matrix, different combinations of links are investigated, The structure syntliesis with Huk addition is then related to the binaiy operations in the corresponding matrix transformation, which presents tbc changc of corresponding configurations. New mechanisins are then produced and the isomorphism is used to reduce the num-ber of optional results.
