Abstract
A procedure is developed for analyzing velocities in spatial mechanisms with ball joints has been designed for practical computerization. The correspondence between the calculated velocities in a ball joint and the time changes of the physical displacements is clarified. The methodology is demonstrated using the RSPC mechanism which has seen commercial application as a washing-machine agitator mechanism.
