Design a rigid-body guidance of four-bar linkage
with three prescribed positions of the coupler
Problem Statement:
Given three prescribed positions of the coupler
and two center point coordinates,
design the fourbar linkage and
calculate the corrsponding circle point coordinates.
Also, animate the designed fourbar linkage.
This is a fourbar rigid body guidance synthesis problem.
It can be solved using the algorithm described in the textbook
Kinematics and Mechanisms Design
by C. H. Suh and C. W. Radcliffe, 1978, John Wiley & Sons.
The program
using QuickAnimation in Ch
will generate the
output
and animation below.
