4.2 CALCULATION TECHNIQUES
À pWe can expand the tools for analysis of position to find velocities.
The most important factor to remember is that velocity is the first derivative of position.
4.2.1 Complex Algebra
(|Recall the position vector in complex polar notation. And, after finding the first derivative we get the simple form,
Consider the crank-slider mechanism below,
Next, consider a four bar linkage, in the double rocker configuration,
4.2.2 Analytic Methods
(|Basically use techniques to develop equations for position, and then differentiate
Consider the mechanism pictured below,
