Quick Return Mechanism

This mechanism consists of two links and ground. Bar-OA, the input, oscillates through small angles, β. Bar-AB is slot-connected to Bar-OB at A. Hence the active length X, (of Bar-AB) changes. Figure 1. shows the basic configuration.

The goal is to describe a method of solution of planar mechanisms. The case we consider is a position as depicted, β (defined clockwise positive) increases steadily.
