Algebraic position analysis
Use trigonometry to find positions of links and joints.
Example: four bar linkage:
Procedure:
1. Find triangle O2AO4 from a, d, (2.
2. Find triangle AO4B from b, c, AO4.
Complex number method for position analysis
Idea: represent links as position vectors and represent these vectors as complex numbers.
Why complex numbers?
In many problems, it is more straightforward to derive the equations for position analysis using complex numbers
Complex number: Rectangular form
Complex number: Polar form
Complex conjugate

Multiplication, Division, Powers
▪ Multiplication of two numbers: multiply magnitudes, add phase angles.
▪ Division of two numbers: divide magnitudes, subtract phase angles
▪ Raising a complex number into a power: raise magnitude into the power, multiply phase angle by the power
Use rectangular form when adding or subtracting
• Use polar from when multiplying, dividing or raising into a power
Complex equation solving:
f(z) = 0, where z and f are complex quantities. Solve for z.
Solution
Real(f(z)) = 0 or Real[f(x+jy)] = 0
Im(f(z)) = 0 or Im[f(x+jy)] = 0
Solving the above two independent equations for x and y we find z.
Example:
(4+j)z+5-2j = 0, where z = x + jy
Solution
Substituting z = x + jy into the equation we obtain:
(4+j)(x+jy)+5-2j = 0 or
4x+4y j +xj-y+5-2j=0 or
4x-y+5+j(4y+x-2)=0
Both real and imaginary parts should be zero:
Real part = 0 → 4x - y+5=0
Imaginary part = 0 → 4y+x-2=0
Solving the two equations for x and y we obtain the real and imaginary parts of complex number z:
x = -1.059 and y = 0.765.
Therefore:
z = -1.059 + j0.765.
Example: crank-rocker four bar linkage
Problem: Given a, b, c, d and (2, find (3 and (4
Solution:
Vector loop equation:

Real part = 0
Imaginary part = 0
Two equations with two unknowns, (3 and (4
Important definitions:
Open Grashof mechanism: If [pic]then the two links adjacent to the shortest link (crank) do not cross each other.
Crossed Grashof mechanism: If [pic]then the two links adjacent to the shortest link (crank) cross each other.
