Abstract
The Fulleroid, discovered by K. Wohlhart, is a 48-link overconstrained spatial linkage which expands and contracts within a rhombic dodecahedral boundary. In this paper, some similar types of linkages are synthesized based on some observations on the Fulleroid. First an infinite class of 24-faced polyhedral linkages is described. Next the idea is generalized for polyhedra having rhombic faces. Then analyzing these linkages a basic closed chain is derived as a module and some dipyramidal and stellated polyhedral linkages are synthesized using this module © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.
