  2. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    For rod length 6" and crank radius 2" (as shown in the example graph below), numerically solving the acceleration zero-crossings finds the velocity maxima/minima to be at crank angles of ±73.17615°. Then, using the triangle law of sines, it is found that the rod-vertical angle is 18.60647° and the crank-rod angle is 88.21738°. Clearly, in ...

  3. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    For example, for rod length 6" and crank radius 2", numerically solving the above equation finds the velocity minima (maximum downward speed) to be at crank angle of 73.17615° after TDC. Then, using the triangle sine law , it is found that the crank to connecting rod angle is 88.21738° and the connecting rod angle is 18.60647° from vertical ...

  4. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    The rod or cord is massless, inextensible and always remains under tension. The bob is a point mass. The motion occurs in two dimensions. The motion does not lose energy to external friction or air resistance. The gravitational field is uniform. The support is immobile. The differential equation which governs the motion of a simple pendulum is

  5. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    Thin rod of length L and mass m, perpendicular to the axis of rotation, rotating about one end. This expression assumes that the rod is an infinitely thin (but rigid) wire. This is also a special case of the thin rectangular plate with axis of rotation at the end of the plate, with h = L and w = 0.

  6. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    A coupler connecting a crank and a slider in a single slider crank mechanism is often called a connecting rod, however, it has also been used to refer to any type of coupler. There are three basic types of planar four-bar linkage, depending on the use of revolute or prismatic joints: Four revolute joints:

  7. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    The steering pivot points [clarification needed] are joined by a rigid bar called the tie rod, which can also be part of the steering mechanism, in the form of a rack and pinion for instance. With perfect Ackermann, at any angle of steering, the centre point of all of the circles traced by all wheels will lie at a common point.

  8. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Where the connecting rods are at different locations along the crankshaft (which is the case unless fork-and-blade connecting rods are used), this offset creates a rocking couple within the engine. V4 engines come in many different configurations in terms of the 'V' angle and crankshaft configurations. Some examples are:

  9. Ellipsograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsograph

    Let C be the outer end of the rod, and A, B be the pivots of the sliders. Let AB and BC be the distances from A to B and B to C, respectively. Let us assume that sliders A and B move along the y and x coordinate axes, respectively. When the rod makes an angle θ with the x-axis, the coordinates of point C are given by
