"Accurate determination of dynamic characteristics of mechanisms has become more important with increased requirements on speed, efficiency and precision. Many devices, such as circuit breakers and computing mechanisms, operate under purely transient conditions and actuation time places a serious limitation on the response of the system of which these devices are a part.
In the classical analysis, whether it be graphical or analytical, the mechanism is assigned a specified position and state of motion from which the forces required to produce the motion can be determined. The inverse problem of specifying the driving force and determining the resulting motion, which …
