Mechanism synthesis has been used in various applications. Nevertheless, the approach to
synthesize any mechanism becomes challenging due to large number of precision points …

This paper proposes the synthesis of a human knee exoskeleton using the reduced number
of necessary and sufficient constraints. The proposed human knee exoskeleton consists of a …

This paper presents a comparative study of the dimensional synthesis of the path generating
four-bar mechanisms using some heuristic optimization techniques. For this purpose, we …

This paper presents a novel analytical approach for synthesizing a path-generation
mechanism without any limitation on the number of precision points. Compared with …

This paper proposes a new variant of teaching-learning based optimization (TLBO) for
optimal path synthesis of a four-bar linkage. The new TLBO algorithm is called self-adaptive …

The optimal dimensional synthesis methodology proposed in this article does not follow the
more common approaches of recent years, such as heuristic methods, but aims to perfect …

Four-bar linkages are one of the most widely used mechanisms in industries. This paper
presents a comparative study on the accuracy and efficiency of the optimum synthesis of …

This paper presents a novel constraint handling technique for optimum path generation of
four‐bar linkages using evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Usually, the design problem is …

An optimization method using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is introduced in order to
simultaneously optimize the trajectory planning and placement of a given path in a …

Dimensional synthesis is a type of inverse problem in linkage kinematics where the
objective is to calculate the linkage dimensions required to achieve prescribed linkage …
