The optimal dimensional synthesis for planar mechanisms using differentialevolution (DE) is demonstrated. Four examples are included: in the first case,the synthesis of a mechanism for hybrid-tasks, considering path generation,function generation, and motion generation, is carried out. The second andthird cases pertain to path generation, with and without prescribed timing.Finally, the synthesis of an Ackerman mechanism is reported. Order defectproblem is solved by manipulating individuals instead of penalizing ordiscretizing the search space for the parameters. A technique that consists inapplying a transformation in order to satisfy the Grashof and crank conditionsto generate an initial elitist population is introduced. As a result, theevolutionary algorithm increases its efficiency.
