Consider the mechanism shown below made up of moveable links AB, BD and slider D. Link AB is rotating CCW at a constant rate. Point C is the center of rotation for BD, where point C is at the ...

Description: Application of the principles of kinematics to mechanisms. Graphical and semi-graphical methods are used to determine displacements, velocities and accelerations in common mechanisms.

A slider-crank mechanism is a typical design which converts rotary motion into linear motion. It is achieved by connecting a slider and a crank with a rod. Figure A depicts a mechanism utilized as a ...
