    • The kinematic synthesis of path generating mechanisms using genetic algorithms

      Connor, AM; Douglas, SS; Gilmartin, MJ (WIT Press, 1995)
      This paper presents a methodology for the synthesis of path generating mechanisms using Genetic Algorithms GAs). GAs are a novel search and optimisation technique inspired by the principles of natural evolution and survival ...

    • The optimal synthesis of mechanisms using harmonic information

      Connor, AM; Douglas, SS; Gilmartin, MJ (Taylor & Francis, 1998)
      This paper reviews several uses of harmonic information in the synthesis of mechanisms and shows that such information can be put to even greater use in this ®eld. Results are presented for both single and multi-degree of ...

    • The synthesis of five bar path generating mechanisms using genetic algorithms

      Connor, AM; Douglas, SS; Gilmartin, MJ (IEE/IEEE, 1995)
      This paper presents a methodology for the synthesis of multi-degree of freedom mechanisms using genetic algorithms. A Five-Bar mechanism is a 2-DOF system which requires two inputs to fully describe the output motion. In ...
