Abstract:The unified formulation of dimensional synthesis of Stephenson linkages for motion generation is the subject of this paper. Burmester theory is applied to the six-bar linkage, which leads to a unified formulation applicable for all three types of Stephenson linkages. This is made possible by virtue of parameterized position vectors, which simplify the formulation of synthesis equations. A design example is included to demonstrate the application of the method developed.
