This is a quick return device.
This application will:
- determine the range of motion of this device
- and its behavior if the crank driven at (i) a constant angular velocity, and (ii) a constant angular acceleration
The latter involves numerically solving differential equations. These are symbolically derived by differentiating the geometric relationships with respect to time. The resulting equations contain the first and second derivative of the crank angle with respect to time; these will be set to constant values to reveal the behavior of the system.
