The motion of a non-offset piston connected to a crank through a connecting rod (as would be found in internal combustion engines), can be expressed through several mathematical equations. This article shows how these motion equations are derived, and shows an example graph. Crankshaft geometry Diagram showing geometric layout of piston pin, crank pin and crank center Definitions
