Kinematic and Static Analyses of the Pedaling by Means of New Slider-Crank Mechanism
A slider-crank mechanism whose coupler curve is the approximate ellipse is designed so that a man may perform the pedaling of the elliptical motion of the foot.Because GLOVES the thigh, the shank and the foot constitute the three-link chain, the system of a man and the bicycle with the slider-crank pedal mechanism is the planar seven-link mechanism
