Research Initiation: Knowledge-Based Systems for Kinematic Structural Synthesis

最近开发的新分析技术消除了机构综合中所需的大部分猜测工作和创造性思维。他们将合成过程建立在更具分析性的基础上。该项目通过将基于知识的系统纳入机构的概念设计，进一步加强了这一分析基础。与目前流行的其他方法相比，使用这种系统是一种更系统的机制设计方法。尽管该项目最初只针对一小类机构，但它的最终应用将是从小型机器到大型可展开空间结构的广泛范围的机构。

New analysis techniques developed recently have eliminated much of the guess work and creative thinking required in mechanism synthesis. They have placed the synthesis process on a more analytical foundation. This project further enhances that analytical base by incorporating knowledge based systems in the conceptual design of mechanisms. Use of such systems is a more systematic approach to mechanism design than other approaches currently in vogue. Although the project addresses a small class of mechanisms initially, its ultimate application will be to a broad spectrum of mechanisms from small machines to large deployable space structures.
