Fig. 9 Simulation of Watt’s linkage mechanism
The angular displacement of link-2 of the Watt’s linkage mechanism is shown
in Fig. 10. The intermediate point is calculated by the interpolation function of the
motion analysis.
The time derivative of the angular displacement of the link-2 yields angular
velocity. The angular velocity of the link-2 is calculated by:
ω Link-2 = angular displacement/time = 3
◦ /s
