In the four-bar linkage shown, control link OA has a counterclockwise angular velocity omega = 10 rad/s during a short interval of motion. When the link CB passes the vertical position shown, point A has coordinates x = -60 mm and y = 80 mm. By means of vector algebra, determine the angular velocity of AB and BC. This problem asks for the rotational velocity of segment BC when it is in the pictured position given a constant and known rotational velocity for segment OA. We will use ADAMS to create a model with the given conditions and collect the data needed.

If you are successful, you should end up with a ADAMS model that illustrates angular velocity of the links in a four bar mechanism.
Start ADAMS.
Create a new model. (Model Name = fourbar, Units = mmks, Gravity = none) Modify the spacing of the Working Grid (X = 10mm, Y= 10mm) Click Units from Settings menu Select Radian from Angle pull down menu Click OK

Best Practices Make sure correct units are set to mmks and the viewing area is zoomed in or out enough to see the model. It may be helpful to set the working grid to 10mm spacing and change the icon size to 10mm under the Settings menu. Make sure gravity is turned off. Make sure the revolute joints are in the z direction. Check dimensions of the part to make sure they are correct. Make sure the measures are set correctly.
