Review Synthesis

The document describes the design of linkages to produce desired output motions. It discusses function generation using linkages as black boxes that produce predictable outputs from known inputs. It provides procedures for synthesizing linkages including determining the type and dimensions to satisfy precision points on the output motion. As an example, it describes the design of a slider-crank mechanism, giving equations relating design parameters like stroke, time ratio, and link lengths. It also describes the design of a crank-rocker mechanism to achieve a desired throw angle and imbalance angle for the rocker.

MIME 3300 Analytical Linkage Synthesis

(Design)
Objective: Given the desired output motion of a
linkage, determine the linkage that produces this
motion
Function generation: Correlation of an input
motion with an output motion in a mechanism.
Function generator is a black box that delivers
some predictable output in response to a known
input.

Path generation: Control of a point so that it


follows a prescribed path

Path of point on
coupler

Motion generation: Control of a line so that is


assumes prescribed set of sequential positions

Procedure for synthesis of a linkage


Specifications

Experience,
judgment

Algorithm and
judgment

Type synthesis: determine best


type of linkage but do not worry
about the dimensions
Dimensional synthesis: determine
dimensions

Precision points (positions): Points (positions)


prescribed for successive locations of the output
More points

more equations

Graphical synthesis: Use graphical procedures to


determine linkage
Analytical synthesis: Use math
