  2. Five-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-bar_linkage

    In kinematics, a five-bar linkage is a mechanism with two degrees of freedom that is constructed from five links that are connected together in a closed chain. All links are connected to each other by five joints in series forming a loop. One of the links is the ground or base. [1]

  3. Chebyshev linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_linkage

    Link 1 (horizontal distance between ground joints): 4a Illustration of the limits. In kinematics, Chebyshev's linkage is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate linear motion. It was invented by the 19th-century mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev, who studied theoretical problems in kinematic mechanisms.

  4. Jansen's linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansen's_linkage

    Jansen's linkage bears artistic as well as mechanical merit for its simulation of organic walking motion using a simple rotary input. [2] These leg mechanisms have applications in mobile robotics and in gait analysis. [3] [4] The central 'crank' link moves in circles as it is actuated by a rotary actuator such as an electric motor.

  5. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    Crank slider mechanisms with 0 and 1.25 eccentricity. A slider-crank linkage is a four-bar linkage with three revolute joints and one prismatic, or sliding, joint. The rotation of the crank drives the linear movement the slider, or the expansion of gases against a sliding piston in a cylinder can drive the rotation of the crank.

  6. Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebychev–Grübler...

    The Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion determines the number of degrees of freedom of a kinematic chain, that is, a coupling of rigid bodies by means of mechanical constraints. [1] These devices are also called linkages .

  7. PhET Interactive Simulations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhET_Interactive_Simulations

    PhET Interactive Simulations is part of the University of Colorado Boulder which is a member of the Association of American Universities. [10] The team changes over time and has about 16 members consisting of professors, post-doctoral students, researchers, education specialists, software engineers (sometimes contractors), educators, and administrative assistants.

  8. Fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth,_fifth,_and_sixth...

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.

  9. MSC Adams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSC_Adams

    MSC ADAMS (Automated Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) is a multibody dynamics simulation software system. It is currently owned by MSC Software Corporation. The simulation software solver runs mainly on Fortran and more recently C++ as well. [1] According to the publisher, Adams is the most widely used multibody dynamics simulation ...
