Dimensional synthesis of mechanical linkages using artificial neural networks and Fourier descriptors

Dimensional synthesis of mechanisms to trace given paths is an important problem with no exact solution. In this paper, the problem is divided into representation of curve shape and learning the relation between curve shape and mechanism dimensions. Curve shape is represented by Fourier descriptors...
