Abstract
A detailed experimental investigation is presented into the dynamic flexural responses of slider-crank and four-bar linkages constructed from steel, aluminum and two graphite-epoxy laminates. This is the first time that an experimental investigation has demonstrated that composite linked mechanisms have superior response characteristics to comparable mechanisms manufactured in the commercial metals, and also that this dynamic behavior is governed by the stiffness-to-density ratio of the link material.
