Abstract
This study introduces a simulation approach to analyze the dynamics of plan ar mechanisms using the computer simulation software EASYS(R). The analysis is based on the equations of motion of the mechanism linkages. Elasticity in the joints and linkages as well as the looseness and friction were taken into consideration. The chosen methodology allows the modeling of a variet y of possible mechanisms. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserve d.
