Sensitivity Distribution in the Synthesis Solution Space of Four-Bar Linkages

This paper describes the sensitivity to tolerances of four-bar linkage link angles in terms of two nondimensional quantities σ and τ. The traces of these quantities are then plotted in the (λ1, λ3, λ4) space thus allowing the designer to synthesize a fourbar linkage with a prescribed sensitivity val...

Description
Summary:This paper describes the sensitivity to tolerances of four-bar linkage link angles in terms of two nondimensional quantities σ and τ. The traces of these quantities are then plotted in the (λ1, λ3, λ4) space thus allowing the designer to synthesize a fourbar linkage with a prescribed sensitivity value and predict the tolerance required to achieve a certain accuracy on link angles.
