Low Cost Computer Graphics Simulation of Basic Kinematic Linkages.

Peer reviewed

Smith, Donald A.; Jacquot, Raymond G. – CoED, 1984

Presents algorithms for the simulation and motion display of the three basic kinematic devices: (1) four bar linkages; (2) the slider crank; and (3) the inverted slider crank mechanisms. The algorithms were implemented on a Commodore-VIC 20 microcomputer system with 6500 bytes of available memory. (Author/JN)

Multiple CubicBezier Curves.

Peer reviewed

Khonsari, Michael M.; Horn, Douglas – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 1990

An algorithm is described for generating smooth curves of first-order continuity. The algorithm is composed of several cubic Bezier curves joined together at the user defined control points. Introduced is a tension control parameter which can be set thus providing additional flexibility in the design of free-form curves. (KR)
