Description Emphasizes in-depth utilization of a variety of linkage types.
Students apply linkage design skills to specified problems.
Given the crank radius, connecting rod length, speed, and crank angle, determine the acceleration of the slider. Given the length of the slider, the crank angle, and the displacement, determine the length of the connecting rod. Quick return mechanisms Define and explain the reason and applications of quick return mechanisms. Draw a suitable quick return mechanism for a specific mechanical operation. Given the lengths of all linkages and the speed of the crank, determine the length of time required for the follower to move between extreme positions.
