• Four-bar mechanism - 6 instant centers
• Six-bar mechanism – 15 instant centers
• Eight-bar mechanism – 28 instant centers
• Figure 6-5 shows four-bar mechanism in arbitrary position
• Linear graph useful for keeping track of known ICs also shown

• Kennedy’s Rule
• Any three bodies in the plane will have exactly three instant centers, and they
will lie on the same straight line

Velocity Analysis using Vector Loop Method
• Representation
of position vector RPA as complex number in polar form
RPA = p ejθ - 6.2
where p is scalar length of the vector
• Velocity
• Always perpendicular to radius of rotation
• Tangent to path of motion
Velocity Analysis using Vector Loop Method
• Substituting Euler identity into 6.3
VPA = p j (cosθ + j sinθ) = p (- sinθ + j cosθ) - (6.4)
