Hi OldEngr63, Thanks again for the reply and confirming my troubles. I wasn't able to find the references online and unfortunately do not have access to a library. I am still trying to get my hands on them though, hopefully I can get it from someone for some festive season reading.

Hi again, I have come across another hurdle. My system has a torque about z acting on link A that drives the system, and this torque varies, it is a function of theta. I have calculated the total generalized inertia about the pivot point Z, and I have calculated the instantaneous angular...

Hi OldEngr63, Thank you very much for your reply. That has solved my dilemma! Sorry if I was unclear with my question, really I have a more complicated system where I know the torque on link A and will be looking at the linear velocity profile of block C. So yes, your response giving the...

Hi, I'm sorry my question is almost identical to an unanswered question here, but I was unable to reply to it (because it is old?). I want to have the mass moment of inertia 'I'of the block C, which will be a function of theta. I am ignoring the contribution from the links.Due to the...
