Abstract
The paper deals with the kinematic analysis of a particular case of a “multiple-bar mechanism” from Artobolevsky’s mechanisms collection. The structural analysis of this eight-link mechanism shows that it is a six class third order mechanism according to Assur-Artobolevsky classification. The kinematic analysis of such a mechanism is very difficult through the direct method. Usually, the kinematic analysis is performed by means of reducing the mechanism’s class through the swapping of the input and output links. The paper proposes another method to reduce the class of a mechanism, namely by choosing a certain moving link as referential and studying the relative movements of the remaining links/elements. Thus, the transmission function can be found, as a function of the original input and output links. Such a mechanism is useful for manufacturing of compound light structures.
