Video series on four-bar linkages in ASOMmini (4/5): Parallel- and Antiparallel-Crank
In the fourth part of our series, we will cover the parallel-crank and antiparallel-crank.
With our example videos we would like to show you how easy and uncomplicated it is to use ASOM v10, ASOM v7 and ASOMmini. Even for more complex problems, you will be able to quickly find an adequate solution.
In the fourth part of our series, we will cover the parallel-crank and antiparallel-crank.
In this third part of our series, we will discuss the double-rocker. In this type of four-bar linkage, both grounded links are not able to revolve fully.
We continue our video series with the double-crank. In contrast to the crank-rocker, in a double-crank mechanism both grounded links can revolve fully, which is where its name comes from.
The first part of our video series features the crank-rocker. In a crank-rocker mechanism, one grounded link is able to revolve fully while the other one is not.
In the following video, an approximate straight-line mechanism based on Chebyshev is constructed and animated.
Creation of a simple kinematic system and modification of its drive function with the mechanism software ASOMmini.
In this example, a four-bar linkage and a one-bar linkage including their motion sequences are given. These can be connected in ASOMmini with a roller follower.
In this example, an excavator arm is animated as a planar mechanism.
The example shows an arbitrary multi-bar linkage with various rotary joints and sliding joints.
Animation of a six-bar linkage with the kinematics software ASOMmini.
Creation of a simple planar mechanism, using the kinematics software ASOMmini.
Modeling of a basic E-Drive for a bicycle with the kinematics software ASOM v7.
Using three brief examples (car seat, rear hatch and spoiler), we demonstrate how car manufacturers and suppliers can use the kinematics software ASOM v7 to solve typical industry-specific problems.
Experimental example for bow and arrow, animated and computed in the kinematics software ASOM v7.
Basic example of a door closer, simulated with the kinematics design software ASOM v7
