description abstract | The problem of synthesizing a planar 4-bar with given pivots such that the coupler curve passes through five precision points is considered. It is shown that the design parameters must satisfy a system of 4 fourth-degree polynomial equations in 4 unknowns which has at most 36 nonzero real solutions. This polynomial system is solved using a continuation method, which thereby generates the collection of all designs that meet the precision-point specification. A computer program that implements this continuation method has been tested on a number of problems. It is reliable and fast enough for the purposes of design. The approach to kinematic design represented by this work is completely general, subject only to computer-time limitations that may arise for problems with many design elements. | |
