In this paper, the dynamic analysis of a translating five-bar linkage mechanism is presented. The model developed with applied force to crank arm resolved into two principal planes, that is, x- and y- directions resulting reaction forces moments at pin joints determined various acceleration 0, 10, 20, 30 40 m/s2 in direction as well opposite rotation. It was observed horizontal were decreasing ...

The mechanical linkage of a hydraulic-resistance, elbow flexion and extension exercise machine was redesigned to provide a resistance response that varies in proportion to female joint strength over the range of motion. The aim was to integrate into a simple, passive exercise machine the respective benefits of hydraulic resistance and isokinetic exercise. Hydraulic resistance facilitates bidire...

This paper summarizes the work done in context of an industrial research project collaboration between Italian Institute Technology and company Fameccanica Data Spa. introduces design a six bar linkage mechanism, actuated by single motor, for re-orienting aligning objects. The main application consists grasping empty bottles lying flat on input conveyor, rotating, placing them upright position ...

Six-bar linkages have been used in some prosthetic knees in the past years, but only a few publications have been written on the special functions of the mechanism as used in transfemoral prosthesis. This paper investigates the advantages of the mechanism as used in the prosthetic knee from the kinematic and dynamic points of view. Computer simulation and an experimental method were used in the...
