Abstract

"The purpose of this thesis is to determine the shapes of fixed and moving polodes of class II four bar mechanisms, since there has been little, or no work done in determining their shapes.

Twenty different mechanisms were taken to study the shape of the fixed and moving polodes. The best equation which fits each curve was found by using the least square method in polynomials. Coefficients for each curve were determined with the help of the I.BM 1620 computer. The equation was found to be a six-degree polynomial which fits very well to each curve. There seems to be no relationship between the coefficients of the equation and the sides of the four-bar mechanism"--Abstract, p. ii
