YP Slider Crank simulates the motion of a piston
activated by a slider crank mechanism. The crank
is in uniform rotational motion (constant angular
velocity), causing the piston to move with a variable
acceleration. Relative lengths of the crank arm
and the connecting rod may be changed easily.
During the simulation, it is possible to display the
following vectors: acceleration, velocity and
position, and the following graphs: acceleration,
velocity and position versus time.
