Displacement Analysis

Displacement analysis uses a graphical method to determine the position of all links in a mechanism as the driving link is moved. For mechanisms with one degree of freedom, the position of one link determines all other positions, while two links are needed to determine all positions for mechanisms with two degrees of freedom. The goal is to find how the positions of other links change based on the position of the driving links or points that can move independently.

Displacement analysis

Graphical method
• The sole purpose of analysis is to determine
the location of all links as the driving link(s) of
the mechanism is moved into another position
Position of a Mechanism
• For linkages with one degree of freedom, the position
of one link or point can precisely determine the
position of all other links or points. Likewise, for
linkages with two degrees of freedom, the position of
two links can precisely determine the position of all
other links.
• The position of all points and links in a mechanism is
not arbitrary and independent. The independent
parameters are the positions of certain “driver” links or
“driver” points. The primary goal of position analysis is
to determine the resulting positions of the points on a
mechanism as a function of the position of these
“driver” links or points.
