El método gráfico y analítico en la teoría de mecanismos

Abstract

The theory of mechanisms is one of the fundamental branches of study and development in the theory of machinery, current technological developments such as mechatronics or robotics require that engineers and researchers have solid basic knowledge in applied mechanics; this will allow reliable and efficient research. The traditional teaching in the engineering fields uses bibliography that presents in an isolated way, either the graphic or the analytical method, without establishing a clear correlation between both methodologies, which misses the opportunity for these methodologies to mutually support each other. When two methodologies complement each other, a level of security is obtained in the domain of problem solving techniques, in turn, opens the possibility of extending solutions when looking for the representation of one of the methodologies, based on the other, in this paper presents the solution of problems of the theory of mechanisms by both methodologies, explaining and justifying the results obtained, as well as the sequence of steps in the solution of problems, beyond a procedure.
