VRML interactive mechanics tutorial

Mechanics Examples:

This is an example of a triangle structure. You can vary the input force and observe the reaction at the joints.

Torque Balance Triangle

This example is of a block resting on an incline. You can increase and decrease the angle of the incline, as well as change the mass and coefficient of frition.

This particular box changes colour when it should slide.

You can choose the lengths of the links and rotate the four bar mechanism.

Four bar Mechanism (4Bar1.wrl)

You can change the acceleration and velocity of the spinning disks and plot these changes.

NEW!!! Under Construction!! Playing with the location of the vectors.
NEW ! Single spinning disk (oneDisk3.wrl)

Two spinning disks (twoDisk2.wrl)

Push on the box and watch it move (*under construction).

The game of billiards in VRML! (except there is only one ball and no pockets...) ;)
