Optimal Synthesis of Planar and Spatial Mechanism for Path Generation Using Regression Deviation

This method introd uces the structura i error of regression deviation, which is an effective methodfor the path generation of a vast type of planar and spatial mechanism. the proposed methodavoids point-by-point comparison and requirement of timing and reflects the difference betweenthe two curves very effectively in the objective function. by decreasing the number of the designvariables, this method would help considerably in decreasing cpu time. the objective functionthat is based on regression error would converge to a global minimum by a genetic algorithm.at the end, the effectiveness of the method is shown by two numerical examples.
