Modeling the kinematics of an engine

Explore the kinematic behavior of a slider crank mechanism the guides a piston and crankshaft

You are now following this Submission

This live script was made to explore teaching mathematical modeling to high school students. A series of questions are meant to guide the student through equations that model constraints on the components in an engine. The motions of a slider - crank mechanism are modeled.
