In this book advanced balancing methods for planar and spatial linkages, hand operated
and automatic robot manipulators are presented. It is organized into three main parts and …

In this study, optimal balancing of a planar articulated mechanism is investigated to minimize
the shaking force and moment fluctuations. Balancing of a four-bar mechanism is formulated …

This paper presents a two stage optimization procedure for dynamic balancing of planar
mechanisms and finding optimum link shapes. In the first stage, the shaking force and …

In this study, force and moment balance of a planar four-bar linkage is implemented using
evolutionary algorithms. In the current problem, the concepts of inertia counterweights and …

Following errors in manufacturing process and hinge movement, clearance occurs in the
joints of mechanisms. Together with noise, vibration and abrasion caused by impact forces …

For high-speed robotics dynamic (shaking) force and (shaking) moment balance are
important properties to obtain low base vibrations, high precision, and short cycle times, ao …

This paper presents an optimization technique to dynamically balance the planar
mechanisms in which the shaking forces and shaking moments are minimized using the …

This paper presents a study on the equimomental systems of point-masses of planar rigid
bodies. In this work, the equimomental systems of three point-masses of planar rigid bodies …

A new approach to the determination of the natural frequencies of planar flexure-hinge
mechanisms with lumped compliance and small deformations is presented. Variable …

A mechanism is said to be force balanced if, for any arbitrary motion, it does not apply
reaction forces on the base. Moreover, if it does not apply torques on the base, the …
