from a given ray, and the length d, are not known. The objective of the
following investigation is the determination of these two quantities, to
permit the general evaluation of Eq. (10-1).
The Inflection Circle. Equation (10-1) shows that points such as St,
s2, etc., on a given ray describe paths which differ in shape in the vicinity
of the position under observation. It is therefore reasonable to assume
that there exists on the ray a point I, which passes, at the given instant,
through an inflection of its path. For such a point, the radius of curvature of the path and the distance 01, ---+ P are both infinite. Equation
(10-1), applied to I,, reduces, therefore, to

which shows that on any given ray there really exists one, and only one,
inflection point and that the locus of all inflection points in a given
position of the moving plane m is a circle of diameter d;, centered on p,.
and passing through P. This circle is known as the inflection circle.
Figure 10-2 shows the inflection circle for the kinematic system of
Fig. 10-1.
The following alternative derivation of Eq. (10-2) is interesting.

For points 8 inside the inflection circle, I, ~ 8 is negative and, consequently, the center of curvature of the path is beyond S, relative toP.
Hence such points describe paths which are convex when viewed from P,
while the paths of points outside the inflection circle are concave. For
points 8 on the pole tangent, I, and 0 8 coincide with P. These kinematic
peculiarities are clearly illustrated in Fig. 10-4.
If the position of the inflection point on a given ray is known, then the
location of the center of curvature of the path of any point on the ray may
be determined either by computation, by the use of the Euler-Savary
equation, or graphically, by means of the following construction, shown
in Fig. 10-iia. Through 8 draw an arbitrary auxiliary line, and select

w.,
In Eq. (10-6), w.. is the angular speed of the plane m, and Vp the speed
with which the instant center of rotation changes its position along the
fixed polode or along the instantaneous pole tangent. Vp is therefore
called the displacement velocity of the instant center. As shown previously, d; is directed along the positive pole normal. Consequently, the
direction of V p along the pole tangent is. obtained by turning d; about P
through 90 in the sense of w... Conversely, with Vp known, the direction
of d,, and thus of the pole normal, is obtained by rotating v P through 90
against the sense of <o>.,.
In applying Hartmann's method, an arbitrarily assumed value is
assigned to the angular velocity w,., and the corresponding displacement velocity of the instant center is determined graphically, with the
aid of an auxiliary linkage. I n general, the absolute instant center P
of t he plane whose inflection circle is to be determined is defined by the
intersection of two moving rays. The auxiliary linkage consists, therefore, of links which are pivoted to the frame at appropriate points, and
rotate with the rays, and of blocks which are free to slide along these links,
in appropriate directions, but are pin-connected together at P. Thus
the velocity of the pin connection P, in the auxiliary linkage, is identical
with t he required pole-displacement velocity.
In the following examples, the auxiliary linkages have been drawn
separately, to facilitate the explanations. In practice, however, the
constructions are carried out on the original plan, a procedure which
saves time and enhances accuracy.
Illustrative Example 1. Construct the inflection circle for a moving
plane if the velocity pole, one pair of conjugate points (Sand Os), and
the direction of the pole normal are specified.
Solution. The original system is shown in Fig. 10-8a, and the auxiliary

10-5. The Inflection Circle for the Relative Motion of Two Moving Planes
Thus far the discussion centered around the construction of the inflection circle associated with the absolute motion of a plane. Occasionally
it is of interest to determine the curvatures of paths traced by the points
of one moving plane on another plane, also in motion. The inflection
circle associated with the relative motion of two planes is constructed
simply by considering the kinematic inversion in which the particular

determination of path curvatures, it becomes possible to analyze complex
mechanisms without recourse to the indirect analytical and graphical

Figure 10-24 shows clearly the degree to which the actual path of a
point on the circling-point curve may be approximated, in the vicinity of
the phase considered, by the osculation circle. For the point C, the two
