6. COMPLEX ALGEBRA METHOD
»This method is preferred when high level
accuracy is desired or the analysis is to be
repeated for a large number of configurations.
• Complex algebra method is also called as complex variable
method.
• Complex numbers are not vectors but that can be used to
represent vector
• In Polar form of fig, vector OR of magnitude r and direction
θ is written as,
• In Complex form the same can be
represented as

9. DEFINITION OF COMPLEX
NUMBER:
• A complex number is a number of the form a + bi,
where a and b are real number and i is an imaginary unit
satisfying
Properties of Complex number:
• Equity: Two complex numbers are equal if and only if their
real parts and their imaginary parts are respectively equal.
• Addition: To add two complex numbers, add the real parts
to one another and the imaginary parts to one another.

14. LOOP CLOSURE EQUATION
• The sum of the relative position vectors for the links
forming a close loop in the mechanism take by order is always
zero.
• As the links in the mechanism are rigid, hence even after
changing the loop position the magnitude of position vector
do not change w. r. t. Time.
• The four general cases are discussed
Loop closure equation for four bar chain
Loop closure equation for slider crank chain
Loop closure equation for offset slider crank chain
Loop closure equation crank and slotted lever mechanism

• The main disadvantage of single hook joint, velocity
ratio is not constant.
