Design and dynamic analysis of a slider-crank-based deformable wheel for stair-climbing vehicles

A cost-effective deformable wheel designed to enhance cargo transportation in environments lacking elevators was proposed in this paper. Firstly, the configuration and rotating principle for the deformable wheel has been analyzed in detail, including the main parameters for the wheel. Secondly, the...
