Abstract
This work is an extension of the authors’ published work on a planar four-bar motion generation search algorithm with Grashof, transmission angle and linkage perimeter conditions [1], This latest work considers planar four-bar path generation with a coupler point load, crank static torque, crank transverse deflection and follower buckling in a modified search algorithm. As demonstrated in the example, a conventional methodology used in kinematic path generation has been expanded to consider static loading, elastic deflection and buckling in path generation. These factors must be considered in mechanical design, but are not the focus in traditional kinematic synthesis.
