Abstract

TitleStatic balancing of parallel mechanisms
Keywords 
Abstract The design of statically balanced mechanisms consists of deriving a set of constraints between kinematic and static parameters such that the center of mass remains fixed for any configuration of the mechanism. Such structures have several practical applications, including the elimination of vibrations which improved both precision and performance.
Using the four-bar mechanism as an example, we formulate the kinematic constraints between the angles and the static balancing constraints as algebraic equations over real and complex variables. This reduces to the problem of the factorization of Laurent polynomials which can be solved using Newton polytopes and Minkowsi sums. Finally, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for statically balanced four-bar mechanisms.


The Institute is named after the famous Austrian mathematician Johann Radon (1887-1956)
