This paper considers the synthesis of the four-bar mechanism. It is treated here as an
optimization problem, in which an objective function is defined. To solve this problem, a …

In this study, we propose an error-feedback method (EFM) for constraint handling of the path-
generation problem, which replaces the traditional penalty-functional method. Moreover, it …

Mechanisms have allowed for the automation of complex, repetitive, demanding, or
dangerous tasks for humans. Among the different mechanisms, those with a closed …

This paper explores the synthesis of a planar overconstrained mechanism potentially for a
folding hinge application. Inspired by a folding hinge patent from a phone company, the …

Traditionally, planar overconstrained mechanisms has been explained through special
geometry, which often lacks clarity and specificity. This paper addresses this challenge by …

The current study on the synthesis problems of four-bar mechanism trajectories primarily
relies on establishing a numerical atlas based on trajectory characteristics and employing …

This study attempted to establish an optimal design and perform dynamic analysis for a
spring-actuated cam-linkage composite mechanism in a rated 12 kV, 25 kA vacuum circuit …

Four-bar linkages are critical fundamental elements of many mechanical systems, and their
design synthesis is often mathematically complicated with iterative numerical solutions …

The paper considers dimensional synthesis of a path generator four-bar linkage by applying
the modified Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. During the search of the space, the DE …

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving transformative changes across numerous fields,
revolutionizing conventional processes and creating new opportunities for innovation. The …
