MEG373 Position Analysis of Mechanisms
POSITION ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES
Example Make a position analysis of the sliding-block linkage of Fig. 2-23
by finding 04 and the distance 04A.
Solution: Though you may be able to think of others, here we choose to
employ five different approaches, for illustrative purposes, to
solve the problem. These are:
a. Graphic approach
b. Analytic approach
c. Complex algebraic approach
d. Vector algebraic approach
e. First numeric approach
f. Second numeric approach
First, using the vector diagram in Fig. 2-23 we recognize this as a case 1
problem
