This paper considers dimensional synthesis of a six-bar linkage with turning kinematic pairs,
in the literature known as Stephenson III Six-bar linkage. The synthesis procedure started …

The synthesis of a four-bar linkage in which the coupler point performs approximately
rectilinear motion is presented in this paper. The Grashof four-bar linkage whose geometries …

This paper presents a methodology that combines Differential Evolution, an evolutionary
optimization scheme, and the Geometric Centroid of Precision Positions technique for …

This paper presents a new objective function for the optimization of path-generator four-bar
linkages. A four-bar linkage includes four revolute joints, two of which are connected to the …

An algorithm for synthesis of mechanisms is described in this work. The algorithm is called
MUMSA (Malaga University Mechanism Synthesis Algorithm). This algorithm is an …

This paper presents the optimal dimensional synthesis of a six-bar linkage with rotational
constraints in which a point on the second dyad generates the desired path. The aim of the …

This paper presents a comparative study of the dimensional synthesis of the path generating
four-bar mechanisms using some heuristic optimization techniques. For this purpose, we …

A general method is presented for synthesizing plane, linked mechanisms obtainable from a
single, closed kinematic chain. Using complex numbers and the matrix theory of linear …

This paper deals with solution methods of optimal synthesis of planar mechanisms. A
searching procedure is defined which applies genetic algorithms based on evolutionary …

Design of four-bar mechanisms to match more than five points is relaxed accepting
tolerance between the input path and the coupler curve. In this work three different …
