Composition of spherical four-bar-mechanisms
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the transmission by two consecutive four-bar linkages with aligned frame links. The paper focusses on so-called “reducible” examples on the sphere where the 4-4-correspondance between the input angle of the first four-bar and the output-angle of the second one splits. Also the question is discussed whether the components can equal the transmission of a single four-bar. A new family of reducible compositions is the spherical analogue of compositions involved at Burmester’s focal mechanism.

متن کاملPareto Optimal Balancing of Four-bar Mechanisms Using Multi-Objective Differential Evolution Algorithm
Four-bar mechanisms are widely used in the industry especially in rotary engines. These mechanisms are usually applied for attaining a special motion duty like path generation; their high speeds in the industry cause an unbalancing problem. Hence, dynamic balancing is essential for their greater efficiency. In this research study, a multi-objective differential evolution algorithm is used for P...
متن کاملA Classification Scheme for Planar 4r, Spherical 4r, and Spatial Rccc Linkages to Facilitate Computer Animation
In this paper we develop a complete classification scheme for planar, spherical and spatial four-bar linkages. The goal of this classification is to note all of the subtleties of motion that an arbitrary set of four link lengths can define. A classification should exist only between the mechanisms that exhibit similar ranges of motion at both the input and output. In the planar case, three para...
متن کاملA Variational Approach for the Design of the Spatial Four-Bar Mechanism
An analytical formulation for computing kinematic sensitivity of the spatial four-bar mechanism is presented. The experimental code developed is used to compute an assembled configuration for the mechanism due to a design variation. The mechanism is modeled using graph theory where a body is defined as a node and a kinematic joint is defined as an edge. The spherical joint is cut to convert the...
متن کاملDynamic Behavior Analysis of a Planar Four-bar Linkage with Multiple Clearances Joint
In practice, clearances in the joints are inevitable due to tolerances, and defects arising from design and manufacturing. In the presence of clearance at a joint, a mechanism gains some additional, uncontrollable degrees of freedom which are the source of error. Moreover, joints undergo wear and backlashes and so cannot be used in precision mechanisms. In this study, the dynamic behaviour of ...
