Examples of Grashof
Criterion for Four-Bar Mechanisms |
For
a four-bar mechanism with the following dimensions, (3, 8, 6, 7), a Grashof
mechanism:
The mechanism is crank-rocker if 8 is fixed. |
The mechanism is crank-crank if 3 is fixed. |
The mechanism is crank-rocker if 3 is the coupler. |
For
a four-bar mechanism with the following dimensions, (3, 10, 5, 6), a
non-Grashof mechanism:
The mechanism is rocker-rocker if 5 is fixed. |
The mechanism is rocker-rocker if 10 is fixed. |
The mechanism is rocker-rocker if 6 is fixed. |
The mechanism is rocker-rocker if 3 is
