Our goal of this session:

Nerd Warning!!!

our tool:

I love Motiongen.. it saves me a lot of time.

 

Terms.. The code of linakges

---

• Fixed pivot and Moving Pivot

• R

the revolute, or hinged

• P

the prismatic, or sliding

• Degree of Freedom

• Crank and Coupler

 

Four Bar Linkage

---

Assignment:

Create a four bar linkage! in MotionGen.

Four bar linkage is everywhere!

lulu’s tic-toking machine

Four Bar Linkage Explain a video showing different four bar linkages

Why?

Grashof’s Law a video explaining a formula that would result in different behavior move of a four bar linkage

 

if we made some small adaptations to four bar linkages

• Four bar linakge is a RRRR

• RRRRR

Add another driven R.

• RPRR

• RRRP

Combination

• RRRR+RRRR

• RRRR+RRRP

• RRRPRRR

• RPRR+RRRR

placing a cube

• 2 bar between 2 driven points

Using lever

• REVERSE MOTION LINKAGE

• PARALLEL MOTION LINKAGE

 

Artwork Analyse

bob potts pursuit

Look at the video and analyse the linkage system.. rebuild it in Motiongenpro.

 

My explaination video: Linkof a video linkage design workshop 2

 

CARDBOARD time

---

design a linkage system. Then prototype it with cardboard.

Famous linkage Examples…

---

The Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage

The first planar linkage capable of transforming rotary motion into perfect straight-line motion

In Wikipedia there is Mathematical proof of concept

 

The Holy 11 numbers

a science fiction article about this 11 numbers

STRANDBEEST by Artist Theo Jansen

 

Watt parallel motion

 

bio inspired linkages

Why the beak of birds are curved and how birds could control the end of their beaks. they controlled it by moving their maxilla

Other linkage related artwork or examples

other things I found interesting

Linkage can draw all the curves mathematically… 中文视频 sorry I didn’t find a better video in English
