Abstract
A method is proposed to identify the critical misalignment of a multiple overconstrained mechanism. This misalignment indicates the limit of desirable behaviour. The proposed method is compared with a multibody simulation of a compliant four-bar mechanism with three overconstraints. Subsequently, both analyses are compared to an experimental setup. The proposed method compares well to the multibody model. The proposed method and multibody simulation match qualitatively with measurements of the four-bar mechanism. However, the measured critical misalignments are about 30% larger in the experiment. As such, the proposed method is able to compute the critical misalignment of the four-bar mechanism.
