I have two questions to one Chebyshev (Tchebyshev - Чебышёв) linkage (see more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_linkage)
1. Do you know how to change lengths of links in to get one (strictly) straight line of motion for point 4 or other curve? See please first animation and files in attach - Mathcad 15. I have a plan use the MinErr function but not too simple!
2. Why I have an error by changing L14? See the animation two. When I use not the solve operator but the Find (numeric) function - no problem (see the animation 3)
In kinematics, Chebyshev's linkage is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate linear motion. It was invented by the 19th-century mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev, who studied theoretical problems in kinematic mechanisms. One of the problems was the construction of a ...
