Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given three prescribed positions for a coupler point in a four-bar linkage, design a graphical method to determine the necessary linkages and joint centers.

💡 Hint: Remember the geometric techniques we discussed for relative positions.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a crank-rocker mechanism experiences stress during operation, how would you reassess the design to maintain functionality without compromising structural integrity?

💡 Hint: Consider both material selection and redesign principles.
