A novel design method of four-bar linkages mimicking the human knee joint in the sagittal plane is proposed. This is based on a practical and efficient experimental approach to detect and analyze the planar motion of the tibia link with respect to the fixed femur, by which three significant positions are selected for design purposes. Thus, the kinematic synthesis of a four-bar linkage with anthropomorphic characteristics is developed by approximating the human knee joint to a pair of conjugate profiles. Finally, the centrodes of the designed four-bar linkage are obtained.

Abstract
A novel design method of four-bar linkages mimicking the human knee joint in the sagittal plane is proposed. This is based on a practical and efficient experimental approach to detect and analyze the planar motion of the tibia link with respect to the fixed femur, by which three significant positions are selected for design purposes. Thus, the kinematic synthesis of a four-bar linkage with anthropomorphic characteristics is developed by approximating the human knee joint to a pair of conjugate profiles. Finally, the centrodes of the designed four-bar linkage are obtained.File in questo prodotto:
