User Instructions for Chapter 4 MATLAB® and Simscape Multibody™ Files
H.1 Planar Four-Bar Mechanism
The Appendix H.1 folder (which is available for download at https://www.routledge.com/p/book/9781032328317) includes the MATLAB and Simscape Multibody files for the kinematic analysis and simulation of planar four-bar mechanisms. These files are described in Table H.1.* To conduct a kinematic analysis, the user specifies the mechanism link dimensions and the crank motion parameters in the file Kinematic_Planar_4Bar_Simulate.m. Values are specified for link variables W1, V1, G1, U1, and L1 (Figure H.1a). Values are also specified for the initial crank angle (start_ang), the crank rotation increment (step_ang), and the final crank angle ...
