6 sample questions

Question 1.
Define path generation.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how a mechanism can trace a line.
Question 2.
What is motion generation?
Show hintHide hint
Consider parts that need to rotate to certain angles.
3Question 3.
What is path generation?
- A method for controlling speed
- A design process to create specific paths for coupler points
- A way to functionally define input-output relationships
Show hintHide hint
Focus on motion rather than relationships.
4Question 4.
True or False: Motion generation includes designing mechanisms where couplers reach specific orientations.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what it means for a mechanism to 'move'.
Question 5.
Design a mechanism that can accomplish both path generation and motion generation and explain how it achieves both.
Show hintHide hint
Think about linkage systems and the arrangement of joints.
Question 6.
Analyze a real-world mechanism (like a bicycle pedal) and discuss examples of path generation, motion generation, and function generation.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how each part contributes to the overall function.
