- Abstract
- Type synthesis of two-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) planar mechanisms has been carried out using graph theory to determine the possible kinematic structures of variable compression ratio (VCR) engine mechanisms with two to three independent loops, and has resulted in the structures of 87 mechanisms satisfying search specification. By applying evaluation criteria to the enumerated mechanisms, the kinematic structures of three mechanisms are selected as suitable VCR engine mechanisms and verified by analysis results. In this research, VCR engine mechanisms with revolute joints and only one prismatic joint are enumerated, and the basic method to determine the VCR engine mechanisms with higher pairs is discussed. The procedure used in this research can be utilized to determine the kinematic structures of desired mechanisms and the results can be used as an atlas of two-DOF adjustable slider-crank mechanisms.
