We present an interactive design system that allows non-expert users to create animated
mechanical characters. Given an articulated character as input, the user iteratively creates …

Mechanism synthesis has been used in various applications. Nevertheless, the approach to
synthesize any mechanism becomes challenging due to large number of precision points …

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 …

A new real-coded evolutionary algorithm is proposed for application to path synthesis of a
four-bar linkage. This new evolutionary algorithm is obtained by combining differential …

This work presents a combined genetic algorithm–fuzzy logic method to solve the problem of
path generation in mechanism synthesis. The proposed method is made of a classical …

This paper presents an investigation of joint clearance influences on the mechanism path
generation and transmission angle. Joint clearance was treated as a massless virtual link …

This paper proposes the synthesis of a human knee exoskeleton using the reduced number
of necessary and sufficient constraints. The proposed human knee exoskeleton consists of a …

Due to new government legislation, customers' environmental concerns and continuously
rising cost of energy, energy efficiency is becoming an essential parameter of industrial …

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 …

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 …
