Has anyone used the slider-crank equations given in Mark's Handbook? The equations are given in the Rotary and Reciprocating Elements section.
I was trying to use the slider velocity equation for problem 13 of 6MS machine design, and I can't get it to give the correct answer for the life of me. It seems that all of the variables are straight forward. I thought the equations would be quick to use for basic slider cranks, but no luck so far.
I am able to solve the problem using instantaneous centers and trig, but from I was hoping the Mark's equation would save some time. Any thoughts?
