An approach for kinematic synthesis of mechanisms is proposed when the constraints define an algebraic curve. This method first computes a numerical cellular decomposition of the real part of the curve. In such a decomposition, each edge is represented by an interior point and a homotopy that permits tracking along the edge.

Illustrative examples along with synthesizing a four-bar linkage are provided which utilize Bertini_real to compute a numerical cellular decomposition and Chebfun to compute Chebyshev interpolants.

摘要

An approach for kinematic synthesis of mechanisms is proposed when the constraints define an algebraic curve. This method first computes a numerical cellular decomposition of the real part of the curve. In such a decomposition, each edge is represented by an interior point and a homotopy that permits tracking along the edge. This numerical representation of each edge is converted to Chebyshev interpolants which facilitate efficient optimization of an analytic or non-analytic function. Illustrative examples along with synthesizing a four-bar linkage are provided which utilize Bertini_real to compute a numerical cellular decomposition and Chebfun to compute Chebyshev interpolants.
