ABSTRACT
It is the most effective way to deal with uncertainty in mechanisms by using probabilistic methods which has been extensively applied in mechanism analysis and synthesis (Chakraborty 1975, Baumg-arten & Werff 1985, Mallik & Dhande 1987, Choi et al. 1998, Shi et al. 2005). However, most of the mechanism reliability methods are for planar mechanisms.
