ROD CURVES AND CURVE FAMILIES GENERATED BY A R-PRR-RPP-RPR TYPE MECHANISM

Abstract

An R-PRR-RPP-RPR type mechanism was obtained by binding two dyads to the oscillating slide mechanism. The aim was to obtain a mechanism with the final connecting rod supported on the connecting rod curves generated by the previous dyads, so that the shape of the connecting rod curves generated by the points on this connecting rod would be as interesting as possible. Many connecting rods were obtained by modifying some parameters of the mechanism. The families of curves were obtained by moving the tracer point to the final connecting rod.
