Real Inflections of Hinged Planar Four-bar Coupler Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plücker’s and Klein’s equations provide an upper bound on the number of real inflections on the coupler curve of a hinged planar four-bar mechanism. Generally, for any configuration of the four-bar, the coupler points whose trajectories exhibit inflections lie on a circle. The coupler plane is partitioned by the envelope of the inflection circles into connected regions within which every coupler point has the same number of inflections on its trajectory. This enables us to locate coupler curves exhibiting the maximum possible number of inflections.

Kinematic Mapping Application to Approximate Type and Dimension Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms
Kinematic mapping is used for preliminary development of an algorithm for the approximate synthesis of planar four-bar mechanisms for rigid body guidance. Both dyad type and dimensions are determined. Planar mechanism coupler motions are represented as the curves of intersection of a pair of quadric constraint surfaces, one for each of two dyads. The problem reduces to identifying the two best ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Four-bar Motion Generation Considering Worst Case Joint Tolerances
Abstract— Four-bar motion generation is used to synthesize a mechanism which passes through or approximate prescribed rigid-body positions. This work will discuss the motion generation of four-bar mechanism with position tolerance variations due to joint running clearance. The tolerance variations study will be based on the standards of American National Standard Institute (ANSI). The new desig...
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 ...

Kinematic synthesis of four bar mechanisms is a design problem that is difficult to solve by generative methods. The present approach is a variant based method that combines the genetic programming and decision tree learning methods. The aim of the research is to give a structural description for the class of mechanisms that produce desired coupler curves. For finding and characterizing feasibl...
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...
