The main aim of this practice session was to determine actuating torque and reaction
forces on links of shaper mechanism. The simulation was carried out and the results were
plotted.

I. Results

Figure 1. Kinematic Analysis: Angular velocity of the 200mm link w.r.t. time

Figure 2. Kinematic Analysis: Angular velocity of the 200mm link w.r.t. time
