... these difficulties but have difficulties with sampling points adjustment and solutions of the design equations in previous studies. In this paper, an improved Fourier-based analytical synthesis method is presented, which transforms the function generation synthesis of planar four-bar linkages into a problem...

...Edward C. Kinzel; James P. Schmiedeler; Gordon R. Pennock This paper extends geometric constraint programming (GCP) to function generation problems involving large numbers of finitely separated precision points and complex mechanisms. In parametric design software, GCP uses the sketching mode...

... generation for nine finitely separated precision points, and function generation for four finitely separated positions. Kinematic synthesis is the determination of the parameters that define a mechanism such that it will perform a desired task ( 1 2 3 ). Tasks are commonly identified as belonging to one...
