Slingjaw Wrasse, Multibar Linkage
A simple 4-bar linkage w/2 fixed points
Demonstrating the parametric constraints of the 4-bar linkage
The Multibar linkage system of Theo Jansen’s STRANDBEEST
Multibar linkages characteristicly take an input and produce a
different output, altering the motion, velocity, acceleration,
to achieve a mechanical advantage. The Slingjaw Wrasse, with a
jaw comprised of multibar linkages, hints at the potential for
more elaborate systems of constraint that allow for play within
structure.
