To date Burmester Theory, as an analytical method, was predominantly used to design four-bar mechanisms that prescribe four precision points. This theory was later extended to design four-bar mechanisms prescribing five precision points. There have been few attempts to use the Burmester Theory in design of mechanisms with more than four bars and/or the ones prescribing more than five precision points. However, not much was done towards the design of mechanisms with six, seven, or more bars that prescribe more than four precision points. This paper describes possible ways in which the Burmester Theory can be utilized in the synthesis of six-bar planar mechanism prescribing four or five precision points.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
