Appendix B: User Instructions for Chapter 4 MATLAB® Files

B.1 Planar Four-Bar Mechanism

The Appendix B.1 folder (which is available for download at https://www.routledge.com/p/book/9781032328317) includes the MATLAB file Kinematic_ Planar_ 4Bar.m for the kinematic analysis of planar four-bar mechanisms*. To conduct a kinematic analysis, the user specifies the mechanism link dimensions and the crank motion parameters in this file. Values are specified for link variables W1, V1, G1, U1, and L1 (Figure B.1a). Values are also specified for the initial crank angle (start_ ang), the crank rotation increment (step_ ang), and the final crank angle (stop_ ang). Lastly, values are specified for the angular velocity (angular_vel) and angular acceleration ...
