International Journal of Materials and Structural Integrity (IJMSI), Vol. 4, No. 1, 2010

Abstract: The graph theory is an important method to achieve conceptual design for mechanism. During the process of kinematic structures enumeration using graph theory, isomorphism identification of graphs is an NP-complete problem. So, the graph isomorphism identification is a crucial problem in mechanism creative design. In this paper, some recent literatures are introduced to demonstrate some method to solve this NP-hard problem. These approaches are all proved to be effective in some cases. The purpose of this paper is to provide references and helps for researchers.
