Abstract

In this paper, the five-position synthesis of Stephenson II six-bar linkages is studied based on the solution region synthesis methodology, in addition, a universal and effective defect determination method for complex linkages is presented. Firstly, five-position synthesis equations of Stephenson II six-bar linkages ware established, then the equations are solved in Bertini. A numerical example of five-position synthesis for Stephenson II six-bar linkages was given to elaborate the method and process of establishing the solution region and the method for identifying defect linkages of complex six-bar linkages, and the correctness and effectiveness of the method for identifying defect linkages ware proved. Finally, the feasible solution region of the five-position synthesis of six-bar linkages is presented.
