Abstract
The dynamic and kinematic analysis of planar linkage mechanisms is carried out quickly and conveniently using a program developed in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The program is interactive, using an IBM 360 computer and a Computek terminal, and allows various options including the optimal balancing of chosen mechanisms. Data for the necessary counterweights are calculated which minimize the moments of inertia of the counterweights so that the resulting force-balanced mechanism will experience minimal increase in shaking moment. Polar plots of individual pin forces may be displayed in addition to driving torque and shaking moment using a general plotting routine which includes an automatic scaling facility. An illustrative example is given.
