I can't offer any LEGO set references that can help you, but you may want
to check out this site:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rapidproto/mechanisms/tablecontents.html
It is a large document (many printed pages) called 'Introduction to
Mechanisms'. You may find some information in there on the principles that
you're investigating.
Best of luck,
Allan
