Three Point Path Synthesis with a RRRR Mechanism
Introduction
Three Point Path Synthesis with a RRRR Mechanism
Schematic Diagram of a 4 Bar RRRR Linkage
In this experiment you will asked to design a RRRR mechanism whose coupler curve will pass through 3 given points. While this problem can be solved analytically, a graphical method of synthesis will be used here. Go to the Procedure Tab to see an animated guide to the geometrical constructions required. An animation of a sample 4 bar RRRR mechanism passing through 3 given points can bee seen by clicking on the Demo Tab.
