An approach to the analysis of higher linkage mechanisms and its validation via MATLAB

Abstract

In the present research work a thorough analysis has been made to identify the curves traced by the joints of a higher pair chain mechanism having four linkages by using Freudestein's Equation. The four bar mechanism is taken into consideration The analysis of the curvature properties of the link lengths of a four-bar mechanism via Mathematical Modeling Techniques using MATLAB Software. The proper identification of the lengths which has been taken analytically using Freudenstein's equation, which is an experimental work as well as virtual visualization of the work & the model of a 4-bar linkage, whose modeling has been done through MATLAB software. The objective of kinematic analysis is to optimize the best possible value of the combination of the link lengths & input/output angles of a four bar mechanism, when the input motion is given. It establishes the relationship between the motions of various components of the linkage.
