Abstract

This chapter presents a general geometric-based methodology for dimensional synthesis and optimal design of parallel mechanisms. The proposed method is different from those frequently used methods implemented by establishing the objective functions with specified constraints and then searching for the result using an optimization algorithm; it is indeed a geometrical method by aid of performance charts or atlas, which is highly useful in illustrating the relationship between a performance index provided in Chap.​ 7 and the design parameters involved in a visual way. The proposed method is illustrated by several parallel mechanisms including a planar 5R parallel mechanism and several 3-DOF spatial parallel mechanisms.
