Abstract
A general method is presented for simulating the motion of planar mechanisms on an analogue computer. It is based on a continuous solution of the loop equations describing the instantaneous mechanism configuration using a gradient optimisation technique. Examples of the application of the method to a four-bar eccentric turning block and to a two-pivot Stephenson linkage are given.
