Kinematic analysis of complex mechanism using SAM

Abstract

Analysis of mechanism as segments of real complex systems and machines in the domain of kinematics, kinetostatic, dynamic and other aspects of analysis can be done by analytical methods and by applying software applications.Due to great importance of mechanisms in engineering, their assembly and analysis is not a part of daily routine, but a task that demands observation and optimization of each element. This is why a software package that allows a fast and easy change in distance, transmission angle, force and momentum which affect the elements is needed.This paper shows an example of complex mechanism analysis using SAM software, which provides a special module for quick kinematic analysis.Numerical analysis of mechanism is performed and given results are interpreted.
