Abstract :
This paper deals with a 6-bar mechanism, which finds its application in a precision deep drawing press. The approach for the kinematic simulation is based on loop closure analysis, which has been performed to derive expressions for slider displacement. The results are consolidated using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used for optimizing the dimensions of the mechanism, corresponding to the chosen objective function.
