On Rigid-Body Guidance Synthesis for Four Bar Linkage
Yu Hong · Mechanical Science and Technology · 2002
In this paper, the guidance line rotation method of rigid body guidance is presented based on numeric comparison. The method effectively solves the rigid body guidance synthesis problem when there are more than three coupler positions. Using this method, satisfactory four bar linkages can be obtained when there are four, five or more than five rigid body positions. A software is developed to realize the automatic design and visualization of guidance synthesis for four bar linkage. Simulations show that the method is feasible and effective.
