Abstract: A new method for solving the
velocity analysis of a mechanism is presented. Central to the
method is how to convert the probem of velocity analysis of a
mechanism to one of static analysis. Application of the method
to certain practical problems has advantages compared to
conventional methods for both graphical and analytical
solutions. For brevity an example of a planar mechanism only is
presented.
Key words:
