Abstract: An optimisation technique is applied in dynamic balancing of planner mechanism in which genetic algorithm is applied. By using genetic algorithm the driving torque, shaking force and shaking moment are minimised. An equivalent (equimomental) system (point masses) are developed which is dynamic equivalent to another system, where some sets of forces and moments can produce the same linear velocity, angular velocity, angular acceleration or linear acceleration. Point masses are represented by the shaking force and shaking moment, choose as design variables. Design variables of an optimisation problem are changed into single objective function and apply genetic algorithm. Best results obtained through genetic algorithm than conventional algorithm. The standard problem of four bar mechanism shows its effectiveness.

Keywords: optimisation; equimomental system; dynamic balancing; shaking force; shaking moment; genetic algorithm.
