Abstract :
Scaling mechanisms are widely used in practice because of their deployable and foldable characteristics. But the representation of the topological structure and evolution process of the mechanisms are little referred to. This paper is to introduce adjacency graph and its adjacency matrix operation, which are used to represent the topological structure and the evolution process of scaling mechanisms. In this paper, the method which can be extended to some other topological changed mechanisms represents the topological information intuitively and comprehensively.
