Question

Which method is used in the synthesis of function generation?

(a) Overlay method

(b) Klein’s method

(c) Chebychev’s inequality

(d) Freudenstein’s equation

The question was asked in an interview.

My question is based upon Synthesis of Four Bar Mechanism for Body Guidance in section Computer Aided Analysis and Synthesis of Mechanisms of Machine Dynamics

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Overlay method

To explain I would say: Overlay method is used in the synthesis of function generation, and it is used to generate precision points in a 4 bar linkage.
