Name: Number:
Use the program MUBOKAP, presented in class and made available in your dropbox to perform the kinematic
analysis of the mechanism presented in the figure. Deliver the following information
(1) Identify the system bodies, their body fixed coordinate systems and locate the XY frame.
(2) In the exploded views of each body identify the body fixed frames, points required to define the kinematic
joints and provide their coordinates.
(3) Establish a set of initial positions and orientations of the bodies
(4) Build and present the input file required by the kinematic analysis program.
(5) Simulate the system with MUBOKAP and present the plots for the trajectories and time variation of the
quantities listed in the description of your mechanical system.
If any dimension is missing or you feel as being required just measure it in the drawing and scale it appropriately.
NOTE: (New way to calculate the number of your mechanism) Depending on your student number, select one
of the 4 mechanisms for your homework. The algorithm for the selection is: MechanismNumber =
3xStudentNumber – Integer(3xStudentNumber/4)x4 + 1.Note that Integer(3*StudentNumber/4) is the integer
obtained by truncation of the real number. In Matlab just calculate the mechanism number using:
MechanismNumber = 3*StudentNumber – floor(3*StudentNumber/4)*4+1;
