Abstract Over the past few years, there has been a growing demand to develop efficient
precision mechanisms for fine moving applications. Therefore, several
piezoelectric driven mechanisms have been proposed for such applications. In
this work an optimal synthesis of a four-bar mechanism with three PEAs is
proposed. Two evolutionary multi-objective Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are
formulated and applied; A Genetic Algorithm Synthesis method (GAS) is first
used to obtain a synthesis solution for the mechanism regardless of power
consumption. Then another Genetic Algorithm Minimum Power Synthesis
method (GAMPS) is used to obtain the synthesis solution of minimum More >
