Visual representation of a slider-crank Position given: the crank, connecting rod and offset dimensions.
Deployed at https://slider-crank.fossengineer.com
- Graphs:
- Mechanism Animation
- Piston Position Evolution vs Crank Angle
- Additional info:
- Range of motion of the piston (not intuitive with offsets >0)
- Intake/Combustion vs Compression/Exhaust stroke's crank degrees (again, not intuitive when offset >0)
- Con-Rod angle evolution and angle range
- When is the mechanism getting bloqued? - Spotting non compatible ranges of motions
- Velocities with Point Reference Approach
- Acelerations with Point Reference Approach
- Dash
- Plotly
- Inspired by the fantastic work of https://github.com/gabemorris12/mechanism and the Point Reference approach described on Kinematic and Dynamic Simulation of Multibody Systems, The Real-Time Challenge - Jalon et al.
- Please feel free to fork the code - try it out for yourself and improve it.
