Coordination of Input-crank Motion with the Enveloping Tangent-line via Geared Five-bar Linkage
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a method for synthesizing a geared five-link mechanism by coordinating the finite and infinitesimal displacements of the input-crank with that of a tangent-line which draws a prescribed enveloping curve. The position, velocity, acceleration, jerk, and kerk of both the input-crank and the tangent-line are possible design parameters. The procedure developed would be incorporated into a computer program, for ease of synthesis.
