Abstract
This paper focuses on the kinematic analysis of rectangular path generating adjustable four-bar crank rocker linkage. One of the ground pivots of rocker side of the adjustable mechanism is subjected to continuous adjustment while the crank arm is given uniform angular velocity. Variations of coupler and rocker position, velocity and acceleration are computed for continuously changing phases of the adjustable four bar linkage. These kinematic parameters are compared with non-adjustable four-bar mechanism. Effect of the continuous adjustment on transmission angle and torque ratio are presented. The above procedures are implemented successfully in MATLAB environment and graphical results are presented.
