The vector loop equation for a fourbar linkage is ae j 2 + be j 3 ce j 4 de 1 = 0 (1)

Assuming the initial vector loop equation has been solved using methods from chapter 4, we can take the derivative with respect to time to get & & & ae j 2 j 2 + be j 3 j 3 ce j 4 j 4 = 0 Taking the derivative with respect to time to again results in & ae j 2 j 2

ur goal is to find the unknown velocities based on the known parameters, i.e. to find =

The vector loop equation for a fourbar inverted slider crank linkage is ae j 2 be j 3 ce j 4 de 1 = 0 ( ) be j3 term, both b and 3 change so you have to differentiate by parts. Thus the derivative is & 2 ae j 2 j be j 3 3be j 3 j 4 ce j 4 j = 0 . Again, taking the derivative results in
2 2 2 && & 2 ae j 2 + 2 ae j 2 j b e j 3 2be j3 j + 3 be j 3 3be j 3 j + 4 ce j 4 4 ce j 4 j = 0 (25)

& & One of the be j 3 j terms comes from taking the derivative of be j3 and the other from 3 be j 3 . Recall that the relationship between 3 and 4 remains fixed at

& Thus our unknown variables are 3=4 and b& , so we need to group our equation accordingly. This leads to
