Instant Centers of Velocities Introduction Instant Centers of Velocities for a Six-bar Mechanism Part 2: Velocity Analysis In Part 1 of this presentation, we found all the fifteen instant centers for the sixbar mechanism as shown. In this presentation we use some of these centers to perform several velocity analyses. We show the process in separate simply stated problems.
