Evolutionary dynamics of complex biomechanical systems: an example using the four-bar mechanism.
Like many phenotypic traits, biomechanical systems are defined by both an underlying morphology and an emergent functional property. The relationship between these levels may have a profound impact on how selection for functional performance is translated into morphological evolution. In particular, complex mechanical systems are likely to be highly redundant, because many alternative morpholog...
متن کاملInverse Dynamics of Redundantly Actuated Four-bar Mechanism Using an Optimal Control Formulation
Closed kinematic chain mechanisms are extensively used in several applications, from machine tools to biomechanical models. A few works however address the mechanics of these systems with redundant actuation, i.e., with more actuators than degrees of freedom. The inverse dynamics analysis of this kind of system does not possess an unique solution, and therefore optimization procedures should be...
متن کاملDimensional Synthesis of Four Bar Mechanism Using Genetic Algorithm
The dimensional synthesis is done by using Genetic Algorithm to achieve a desired trajectory. Three problems are analyzed having different curvature. The program is authored in MATLAB ® 2010a. The error is seen to be in the permissible prescribed limit. The prototyping of straight line trajectory analysis is also done in ADAMS ® .
متن کاملReconfiguration of a four-bar mechanism using phase space connections
Linkage mechanisms are perhaps the simplest mechanical structures in engineering, but they can exhibit significant nonlinearity which can in principle be exploited. In this paper a simple smart structure model is developed based on such nonlinearity to investigate the reconfiguration of a four-bar mechanism through phase space connections. The central idea is based on heteroclinic connections i...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamic analysis of a four-bar mechanism having revolute joint with clearance
In general, joints are assumed without clearance in the dynamic analysis of multi-body echanical systems. When joint clearance is considered, the mechanism obtains two uncontrollable degrees of freedom and hence the dynamic response considerably changes. The joints’ clearances are the main sources of vibrations and noise due to the impact of the coupling parts in the joints. Therefore, the syst...
