Velocity Diagrams
- Synopsis
- Velocity diagrams are an important tool in helping to solve problems in engineering. Shows two vehicles approaching a cross-field as an example, and presents and analyses some examples of engineering mechanisms. The slider-crank linkages of a piston are abstracted as velocities on a velocity diagram, helping to explain the functioning of one piston. The controlling arms of a shaping machine are also analysed in a similar way to show how a rapid return mechanism between successive movements of a machine tool is effected.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
