Universal theory of structures, general properties and algorithms for the directed synthesis and analysis of statically determinate mechanical systems. Part 1. Optimal structure of mechanisms and trusses

Structural synthesis and analysis are the primary and most important stages of designing machines and mechanisms that determine the efficiency and durability of the entire structure. The synthesis, especially of mechanisms, is a very complex problem, which usually has a multivariate solution and, therefore, belongs to one of the most difficult problems in the theory of mechanisms and mechanics of machines. A universal theory of structures developed by the author contains general principles of rational construction of multilink mechanical systems, as well as common structural formulas and methods of the directed synthesis of optimal planar and spatial mechanisms and trusses. It allows us to successfully design reliable mechanisms and machine drives in various fields of mechanical engineering (robot manipulators, automated machines, workcenters, forging equipment, etc.). The examples of the application of the universal theory to the development of optimal multilink mechanical systems in various fields of technology will be presented in Part 2.
