Structural Synthesis of the Planar Cam-Linkage Mechanisms as Multibody Systems

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

The modern product design requires the use of commercial software that allows an unitary modelling of the mechanical systems, part in the final product. The paper proposes the multibody system method. There are proposed algorithms for defining and designing the mechanical systems as multibody systems, further applied for the cam-linkage mechanisms. Based on the different types of geometrical restrictions identified, the design method of the cam-linkage mechanisms is developed using graphs and is then applied on concrete applications. The multibody system methods can successfully replace the traditional mechanisms design methods.
