Abstract

Synthesis of adjustable four-bar mechanisms to generate continuous and precise path of double-semi-circle-straight-line (DSCSL) and double-semi-ellipse-straight-line (DSESL) path generation is investigated and verified. Harmonic spacing (HS) algorithm is used to improve precision points spacing along the intended profile paths. Bi-cubic interpolation is used to extract adjustable parameter value of intermediary path points along the profile of path generation conforming to uniformly incremented crank rotation value. Precision points are used in the synthesis to get dimensional values of link lengths and other parameters of adjustable mechanisms. Motion simulation of adjustable mechanism to generate intended coupler path profiles is carried out to verify the dimensional synthesis of the mechanisms. Pattern search (PS) is implemented in the synthesis of mechanism from the results of genetic algorithm (GA) as a hybrid method. Results demonstrate continuous and precise path generation of selected path profiles.
