Abstract: In the context of concurrent engineering, this paper presents a quite innovative approach to the collaborative optimization process, which couples a multi-objective genetic algorithm with an ...

Abstract: This paper provides a new robust design method to dimension a mechanism and to synthesize its dimensional tolerances. The general issue is to find a robust mechanism for a given task, and ...

Abstract: In this paper, two complementary methods are introduced to analyze the sensitivity of a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) translational parallel kinematic machine (PKM) with orthogonal linear joints: ...
