Abstract In this article, a methodology, which yields (in closed-form) the functional relation between “any” two joint variables of a one degree-of-freedom planar mechanism, is developed. For instance, the transmission angle and crank-rotatibility synthesis algorithms (Soylu, 1993; Soylu and Kanberoğlu, 1993) require such a generic input-output equation. The equation is obtained in an optimal manner which minimizes the computational effort associated with it. The tools of theory of elimination and symbolic manipulation are also used in the developed method.

Using (3 x 3) matrices with dual-number elements, closed-form displacement relationships are derived for a spatial six-link R-C-P-R-P-R mechanism. The input-output closed form displacement relationship is obtained as a second order polynomial in the output displacement. For each set of the input and output displacements obtained from the equation, all other variable parameters of the mechanism are uniquely determined. A numerical illustrative example is presented. Using the dual-matrix loop equation, with proper arrangement of terms and following a procedure similar to that presented, the closed-form displacement relationships for other types of six-link 3R + 2P + 1C mechanisms can be obtained. The input-output equation derived may also be used to generate the input-output functions for five-link 2R + 2C + 1P mechanisms and four-link mechanisms with one revolute and three cylinder pairs.

This paper presents a general method for the analysis of any planar mechanism consisting of rigid links connected by revolute joints. The method combines a complex plane formulation [1] with the Dixon determinant procedure of Nielsen and Roth [2]. The result is simple to derive and implement, so in addition to providing numerical solutions, the approach facilitates analytical explorations. The procedure leads to a generalized eigenvalue problem of minimal size. Both input/output problems and the derivation of tracing curve equations are addressed, as is the extension of the method to treat slider joints.

A linguistic identification of a system controlled by a fuzzy-logic controller is presented. The information about the behaviour of the system, concentrated in time-series, is analyzed from the point of its description by linguistic variable and fuzzy subset as its quantifier. The partial input/output relation and its strength is expressed by a sort of correlation tables and coefficients. The principles of automatic generation of model statements are presented as well.

General Method

Abstract This paper presents a general method for the analysis of planar mechanisms consisting of rigid links connected by rotational and/or translational joints. After describing the links as vectors in the complex plane, a simple recipe is outlined for formulating a set of polynomial equations which determine the locations of the links when the mechanism is assembled. It is then shown how to reduce this system of equations to a standard eigenvalue problem, or if preferred, a single resultant polynomial. Both input/output problems and tracing-curve equations are treated.

Abstract This work presents a new method for kinetostatic analysis and dynamic analysis of complex planar mechanisms, i.e. the ordered single-opened-chains method. This method makes use of the ordered single-opened chains (in short, SOC,) along with the properties of SOC, and the network constraints relationship between SOC,. By this method, any planar complex mechanism can be automatically decomposed into a series of the ordered single-opened chains and the optimal structural decomposition route (s) can be automatically selected for dynamic analysis, the paper present the dynamic equation which can be used to solve both the kinetostatic problem and the general dynamic problem. The main advantage of the proposed approach is the possibility to reduce the number of equations to be solved simultaneously to the minimum, and its high automation as well. The other advantage is the simplification of the determination of the coefficients in the equations, and thus it maybe result in a much less time-consuming algorthem. The proposed approach is illustrated with three examples. The presented method can be easily extended to the dynamic analysis of spatial mechanisms.

Abstract This paper presents closed-form polynomial solutions to the displacement analysis problem of planar 10-link mechanisms with 1 degree-of-freedom (DOF). Using the successive elimination procedure presented herein, the input-output (I/O) polynomials as well as the number of assembly configurations for five mechanisms resulting from two 10-link kinematic chains are presented. It is shown that the displacement analysis problems for all five mechanisms can be reduced to a univariate polynomial devoid of any extraneous roots. This univariate polynomial corresponds to the I/O polynomial of the mechanism. In addition, one of the examples also illustrates how trigonometric manipulations in conjunction with tangent half-angle substitutions can lead to non-trivial extraneous roots in the solution process. Theoretical conditions for identifying and eliminating these extraneous roots are also presented.

Abstract In this paper an inversion approach is developed for the analysis of planar mechanisms using closed-form equations. The vector loop equation approach is used, and the occurrence matrices of the variables in the position equations are obtained. After the loop equations are formed, dependency checking of the unknowns is performed to determine if it is possible to solve for any two equations in two unknowns. For the cases where the closed-form solutions cannot be implemented directly, possible inversions of the mechanism are studied. If the vector loop equations for an inversion can be solved in closed-form, they are identified and solved, and the solutions are transformed back to the original linkage. The method developed in this paper eliminates the uncertainties involved, and the large number of computations required in solving the equations by iterative methods.
