CURVES AND FAMILIES OF ROD CURVES GENERATED BY A R-RRP-RRP-RPR TYPE MECHANISM

Abstract

The synthesis of a mechanism of type R-RRP-RRP-RPR was made, starting from the rod-crank mechanism, completing it with two dyads. It was sought to obtain curves generated by points on a connecting rod that rests at the ends on other connecting curves. It resulted in a large range of connecting rod curves by modifying some parameters of the mechanism. The families of connecting rod curves were obtained by positioning the tracer point at different points on the analyzed connecting rod.
