Info on solving mechanisms graphically

[springo]

Hi,

I would like to know if there's anywhere I can find information on how to solve problems that deal with mechanisms (1 degree of freedom) using graphical methods, because I couldn't find any.

Thank you.

Hm, what exactly are you looking for? Displacement diagrams?

Only how to find speed and acceleration of the elements of the mechanism, that is applying Newton's laws to solve kinematics (and dynamics) problems graphically.

Here are some lecture notes, but unfortunately they're in Croatian. But then again, it's mostly "math", so I think you can figure it out.

The links "Predavanje 6" and "Predavanje 7" should help.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Solving problems involving mechanisms graphically can be a useful tool in understanding and analyzing complex systems. One resource you can use is the textbook "Mechanisms and Dynamics of Machinery" by Hamilton H. Mabie and Charles F. Reinholtz. This textbook covers graphical methods for solving mechanisms and includes numerous examples and exercises to practice. Additionally, there are many online resources and tutorials available that demonstrate how to use graphical methods for solving mechanism problems. Some keywords you can use in your search include "graphical methods for mechanisms" or "graphical solutions for mechanism problems." I hope this helps and good luck with your studies!
