Abstract Over the past few years, there has been a growing demand to develop efficient
precision mechanisms for fine moving applications. Therefore, several
piezoelectric driven mechanisms have been proposed for such applications. In
this work an optimal synthesis of a four-bar mechanism with three PEAs is
proposed. Two evolutionary multi-objective Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are
formulated and applied; A Genetic Algorithm Synthesis method (GAS) is first
used to obtain a synthesis solution for the mechanism regardless of power
consumption. Then another Genetic Algorithm Minimum Power Synthesis
method (GAMPS) is used to obtain the synthesis solution of minimum power
consumption. For that purpose,… More >
