EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF KINEMATIC PARAMETERS IN PLANAR MECHANISMS

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the kinematic performance of planar mechanisms, focusing on the measurement and analysis of key kinematic parameters. An experiment was conducted on a planar mechanism to obtain accurate displacement measurements at critical points within the system. These experimentally derived parameters were then analysed against predefined theoretical values to assess the accuracy and reliability of existing kinematic models. The comparative analysis revealed discrepancies between the experimental data and theoretical predictions, highlighting potential sources of error and areas for model improvement. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamic behaviour of planar mechanisms, offering insights for enhancing design precision and optimising performance in practical applications.
