Short summary

The paper introduces a comprehensive symbolic matrix representation for characterizing the topology of a metamorphic mechanism using general information concerning links and joints. Operations on the matrices of the adjacent configuration mechanisms are defined to construct an origin matrix and joint variation matrices. The representation of the configurations and evolution of metamorphic Mechanisms provides a foundation for the analysis and synthesis of novel metamorphic mechanisms.
