An analytical synthesis technique for offset slider-rocker 4-bar linkages is devised where transmission angles are used as essential synthesis parameters. Finding the location where both the maximum and the minimum transmission angles arise leads to establishing the algorithm for limiting transmission angles of the slider-rocker linkage which has different offsets according to the direction of the slider. Position analysis by the algorithm gives formula for the dimensional synthesis for the linkage. Application to examples shows that the algorithm and the formula yield proper slider-rocker linkages with regard to limiting transmission angles to the maximum value.

An actuator should be added to a existing control linkage to make manned aircraft to unmanned. But it is quiet difficult to synchronize actuator with control surface because non-linear error necessarily occurs when four-bar linkage acts in three dimensional motion. In addition, in point of controller design view, while a real-time model needs the control surface deflection as its input, controller needs the actuator command as its output. Hence, the relation between both should be investigated. In this paper, the mathematical relation between actuator and control surface deflection investigated by kinematic analysis of a plant aircraft. The performance margin of the selected actuator also was verified.

This paper proposes a new planar robotic manipulator using stackable 4-BAR mechanisms for various applications. The proposed manipulator has an advantage that we can separate the driving actuators from a robotic manipulator. By separating actuators from the manipulator, we are able to separate the electrical component such as electrical wiring from the mechanical linkage/joint components in the robotic manipulator. Also, we suggest the kinematic analysis of the proposed manipulator which is composed of input mechanisms, multiple 4-BAR mechanisms and output mechanisms. Finally, we suggest numerical simulations to show the effectiveness of the proposed manipulator.

Binder harvesters introduced to Korea were originally designed to be used for Japonica varieties which are highly resistant to shattering. In order to improve the performance of the binder to Indica varieties which are easily shattered and have shorter stem, mechanical modifications of the binder are inevitable. Shattering losses of the binder can be classified into two major parts; one incurred before and one after binding operations. The latter has been evaluated as great as the former. Previous studies indicated that the high discharge losses resulted from a great impact force of the discharge arm on the rice bundle during the discharge process. This study was intended to theoretically analyze the discharge mechanism of four-bar linkage. For this purpose, two commercially available binder harvesters having a four-bar linkage as a discharge mechanism were analyzed. Using the results from the motion analysis and the other structural constraints of the machines, they were modified and experimentally compared with the machines without modification to see whether any decrease in grain losses was obtained. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows: 1. The path, velocity and acceleration of discharge arm were computer analyzed by vector analysis. Using results of the analysis and intrinsic constraints of the binder, discharge mechanism was modified to reduce the impact force on bundle by discharge arm in the range where the discharge performance was not deteriorated. This modification of the discharge mechanism could be done with an aid of four-bar linkage synthesis technique. As a result, average velocity and acceleration of the discharge arm during the discharge process were reduced respectively by 19 percent and 33 percent for binder A, and 17 percent and 35 percent for binder B. 2. Through the modification of the discharge mechanism, discharge losses of binder A were reduced by 42-56 percent for Milyang 23, Poongsan and Hangang chal, and discharge losses of binder B were reduced by 13-20 percent for Milyang 23 and Poongsan. 3. Discharge losses were decreased as the bundle size became larger and the size effect on the decrease rate appeared more significant in the binders with modifications than in those without modifications.

The French doors have the advantage that they can use inner space more efficiently due to without of partition between two rooms. However, when they are used for refrigerators, the door gaskets for sealing may cause interference of themselves during opening and closing, which causes fatal effect on sealing by worn out of the gaskets as well as increases door opening force. This research proposes a new mechanism for the French doors using the parallelogram motion of 4-bar linkage mechanism, which does not make any interference between gaskets. We manufactured the French doors of proposed mechanism to verify that they do not cause any interference during opening and closing, as well as opening force is decreased. The use of our developed mechanism is not limited to refrigerators, but can be extended to other industrial products with the French doors.

In this study, a crab robot is implemented in H/W based on four-bar linkage mechanism and Jansen mechanism, and its kinematics is analysed. A vision camera is attached to the mechanism, which makes the proposed robot a kind of biologically inspired robot for image acquisition. Three ultrasonic sensors are adopted for obstacle avoidance. In addition, the biologically inspired robot can achieve the mission appointed by a programmer outside, based on RF and Blue-tooth communication module. For the design and implementation of a crab robot, it is need to get joint variable, a foot point, and their relation. Thus, the proposed kinematic analysis is very important process for the design and implementation of legged robots.

In this paper a new coupling method for efficient and simple analysis of single phase induction motor is presented. The circuit representation of both the stator winding and each conducting rotor loop (composed of rotor bar and end ring segment) is used in conjunction with the distribution of magnetic flux linkage instead of inductance matrix. The flux linkage is calculated using air-gap flux density distributions driven by unit currents in the stator windings and rotor bars. The field distribution of one turn of a coil is calculated by FEM and the result is used to calculate total flux linkage by employing a coordinate transformation. The numerical results give good agreement with prior literature. The method is particularly effective in analyzing the effect of the number of rotor bars.
