Theory of Machine
In a four-bar chain it is required to give an oscillatory motion to the follower for a continuous rotation of the crank. For the lengths of 50 mm of crank and 70 mm of the follower, determine theoretical maximum length of coupler. The distance between fixed pivots of crank and followers is
A rigid link rotates instantaneously relative to another link at the instantaneous centre for the configuration of the mechanism considered.
The velocity of the instantaneous centre relative to any third rigid link is same whether the instantaneous centre is regarded as a point on the first rigid link or on the second rigid link.
The two rigid links have no linear velocity relative to each other at the instantaneous centre.
