Non-Grashof Linkages


A non-Grashof linkage is a planar four-bar linkage with

s + l > p + q

s = length of the shortest link
l = length of longest link
p and q are the lengths of the two remaining links.

For linkages of this type continous relative motion between any two of its links is not possible.
