A finite, 3-dimensional atlas of 4-bar linkages

摘要: Abstract We describe transformations which map the dimensions of planar 4-bar linkages onto finite regions three-space, in order to provide parameters value selecting linkage meet design requirements. Our chief objective is that three-dimensional region employed should be well suited for production appropriate charts or computer storage parameters. Whilst we favour our discussion more utilitarian type one link capable complete rotation relative other three, also give extensive consideration those chains do not satisfy Grashof criterion.
