Rigid-Body Guidance Synthesis of Four-Bar Linkages with Use of the Relative Displacement Differences of Monad Vectors

Abstract:

This paper innovatively use the relative displacement differences of monad vectors to model equations for synthesizing linkages. Two types of monads are analyzed and the dyads are also presented. Several synthesis examples are illustrated to validate the effective applications of the monads to modeling and solving rigid body guidance synthesis problems. Because the monads have better modularity than the dyads used before, could be directly applied to formulating the synthesizing equations for multi-bar linkages, and then the equations could be directly solved by some corresponding numerical methods, the method is particularly suitable to automatically model and solve the synthesizing problems with computer.
