Research Initiation: Knowledge-Based Systems for Kinematic Structural Synthesis

最近发展起来的新的分析技术已经消除了机构综合中所需要的许多猜测工作和创造性思维。他们把综合过程放在一个更分析的基础上。本项目通过将基于知识的系统纳入机制的概念设计，进一步增强了这一分析基础。使用这种系统是一种比目前流行的其他方法更系统化的机制设计方法。虽然该项目最初只涉及一小类机构，但其最终应用将是广泛的机构，从小型机器到大型可部署空间结构。

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.
