Optimization of Watt's Six-bar Linkage to Generate Straight and Parallel Leg Motion

This paper considers optimal synthesis of a special type of four-bar linkages. Combination of this optimal four-bar linkage with on of it's cognates and elimination of two redundant cognates will result in a Watt's six-bar mechanism, which generates straight and parallel motion. This mecha...
