Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a four-bar linkage with specified link lengths. Calculate the maximum and minimum values for the transmission angle μ. What design considerations would you suggest?

💡 Hint: Look at the relationships of link lengths and their angles.

Question 2

Create a scenario where a transmission angle leads to mechanical failure. Describe the original design and how altering the angle could have changed the outcome.

💡 Hint: Think about real-world machinery and its angles.
