In this project, I built an application using the rudimentary physics of a 4 bar linkage mechanism(specifically Slider-Crank mechanism) to create a manipulatable simulation of a wiper mechanism to visualize its functional components and perform practical analysis using Matlab. In our case the wiper mechanism is a "bottom-middle pivoted synchronous dual arm wiper".
! To be able to run the demo through the app the user is first required to evaluate the model parameters which are required to conform to the
Grashof's Law. (== evaluate before run)
The features of this project are :
- GUI
- SIMULATION
- ERROR HANDLING
- MODEL SAVE
- PLOTS
We use the general metrics to generate the following plots of the model,
This project allowed me to experience the empirical process of full-scale product/model development.

Prerequisites
MATLAB version with Appdesigner (project was created in MATLAB 9.9 / R2020b)
You will also require the Image processing toolbox
