Abstract

A novel integrated technique permittingthe simultaneous optimization of kinematic anddynamic characteristics in the synthesis ofspatial mechanisms is shown. The nonlinearprogramming formulation determines mechanismvariables which simultaneously minimize themaximum values of bearing reactions, jointtorques, driving torque, shaking moment, andshaking force while constraining the maximumkinematic structural error to a prescribedbound. The method is applied to the design ofa path generating RRSS spatial mechanism withprescribed input link timing. Dynamicreactions in the mechanisms synthesized usingthe integrated technique were substantiallyreduced when compared to those of a mechanismsynthesized to satisfy only the specifiedkinematic conditions. •.
