Abstract

Number synthesis is an important building block of type synthesis and it needs to be performed a priori to dimensional synthesis. The number synthesis methods available in the literature are not effective in predicting all possible linkage combinations. There is a need for a unified, yet simple, procedure to generate a complete list of Kinematic Link Set Solution (KLSS). An emphasis is given in this paper to develop such a method based on the analogy of isomers. It resulted in an easy procedure that is rule-based. The procedure is efficient in producing a linkage atlas for a given degree of freedom. A program is developed to generate the linkage atlas based on these rules. The results show that the rule-based approach is viable for pedagogical as well as industrial applications.
