Research on web-based optimization for path generation synthesis of planar four-bar linkage

This paper presents a new Web-based optimization method for path generation synthesis of planar four-bar linkage. The technical features of this method are analyzed and a Web-based design mode is confirmed, which is based on browser/server framework and combines the characteristics of optimization theory and of Web techniques. In the web design environment, it can accomplish remote design between different locations and concurrent design with multi-users. The calculate instances show that the method is practicable and effective.
