Optimal Synthesis of Planar Five-link Mechanisms for the Production of Nonlinear Mechanical Advantage

Optimal Synthesis of Planar Five-link Mechanisms for the Production of Nonlinear Mechanical Advantage

This thesis presents a technique for the optimal synthesis of planar five-link mechanisms that produce a desired mechanical advantage function over a specified path. Since a five-bar linkage has two degrees of freedom, small deviations from the specified path are possible without significantly alte...
