Abstract
Two methods of analysis of linkage motions are presented in this chapter, both of them based on matrix computations. Methods based on Cartesian vector algebra or descriptive geometry can also be applied, as shown in (4.1). However, these are usually ad hoc methods and become cumbersome in many instances. The main aim of this chapter is to establish the methods required to obtain a (usually implicit) relationship between the input and the output variables of single-degree of freedom linkages.
