Synthesis of a planar seven-link mechanism with variable topology for motion between two dead-center positions

An analytical method of synthesis of a planar seven-link mechanism with variable topology for motion between two dead-center positions is suggested. The method is useful to reduce the solution space. The proposed method is non-iterative. A complex number, dyadic approach of synthesis of mechanism for motion, path (with prescribed timing) and function generation is considered. An alternative choice for Phase-II is also suggested.
