Synthesis of Mechanisms for Linear Motion Using Modern Methods

Abstract

The paper presents a synthesis of mechanisms needed to realize an approximate rectilinear motion. The synthesis was performed at several different levels, by changing different geometric parameters of the mechanism itself. The software package SolidWorks2020 was used for the analysis and synthesis of mechanisms. The main goal of using this method was to provide us a possible solution to turn the classic type of mechanism into the compliant mechanism. Four different mechanisms were used for specific examples, but the idea was to form a methodology for converting classical mechanisms into compliant mechanisms.
