  2. ILOs • Review the CDIO concept: Products and Systems • Simple machines and compound machines • Illustrative examples within time-line perspective. • Perpetual motion machines. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  3. Engineer “Engineers Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate complex products and systems in a team-based environment” http://www.cdio.org/ MIT and KTH, 2000 Present 30 countries HU121_Lect5_Machines

  4. Machines and Engines • Simple machines are prehistoric. • More complex engines were introduced in the middle ages to exploit • human power, • animal power, • water power, • wind power • steam power. Still in use today HU121_Lect5_Machines

  5. Machines and Engines • Simple machines are simple tools used to make work easier. • Compound machines have two or more simple machines working together to make work easier. • Engines convert energy into useful • mechanical motion HU121_Lect5_Machines

  6. Simple Machines HU121_Lect5_Machines

  7. Timeline of Simple Machines 3rd century BC • The idea of a "simple machine" originated by Archimedes around the, who studied the "Archimedean" simple machines: lever, pulley, and screw. • He discovered the principle of mechanical advantage in the lever. ca. 10–75 AD • Heron of Alexandria in his book Mechanics lists five mechanisms; lever, windlass, pulley, wedge, and screw, and describes their fabrication and uses..

  10. Ideal Mechanical Advantage • A simple machine multiplies the input force to accomplish a task • The factor by which it multiplies the force is often called the "mechanical advantage". • If you idealize the machine by neglecting friction, then you can state an "ideal mechanical advantage" or IMA for the machineas follows: HU121_Lect5_Machines

  11. 1. Liver • The lever is a "simple machines" from which many more complex machines are derived. • A lever provides a multiplication of force, resulting from the equilibrium of torques, where an input force Fe with a long lever arm Le can balance a larger resistance force Frwith a short lever arm Lr. • Therefore, Fe = (Lr/Le)Fr • and the ideal mechanical advantage is given by: • Fr/Fe = Le/Lr. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  12. 2. Wheel and Axle • The wheel and axle combination constitutes one of the so-called "simple machines" from which many more complex machines are derived. • The principle of operation is essentially a lever, since it depends upon the effort force Fe having a longer lever arm than the resistance force Fr • The ideal mechanical advantage is just the ratio of those lever arms R/r. • The clear advantage of the wheel and axle over a simple lever is that the distance of travel is limited only by the amount of rope or cable that you can wrap around the wheel or axle. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  13. 2. The Incline • The incline is a "simple machine" from which many more complex machines are derived. • By pushing an object up an inclined surface, one can move the object to height h with a smaller force than the weight of the object. • Neglecting friction, the mechanical advantage could be determined by just setting the input work (pushing the object up the incline) equal to the output work (lifting the object to height h). • FeL = Frh • Therefore, the ideal mechanical advantage is: • Fr/Fe = L/h. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  14. 4. The Wedge • The wedge works by the same principles as the incline: A smaller force working over a longer distance can produce a larger force acting through a small distance. • As a double incline, its ideal mechanical advantage is the ratio of the depth of penetration L to the amount of separation t. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  15. 5. The Pulley • With a single fixed-axis pulley, the ideal mechanical advantage is just N=1. • With a suspended pulley (in the middle), the upward forces in the two ropes is equal, and therefore each supports half of the load, giving an IMA of N=2. • With a four-pulley set as shown, you have four ropes supporting the load, so the effort force Fe that establishes the rope tension is just one-fourth of the load in the ideal case, so IMA=4. • All these force relationships are obtained from the force equilibrium condition, which in this case just amounts to "forces up = forces down". HU121_Lect5_Machines

  16. 6. The Screw • When a screw is turned once, it advances by the distance between adjacent screw threads. This distance is commonly called the "pitch" of the thread (P). • As shown, the handle also adds a lever. The handled is moved one circumference 2πL to lift the load by the amount P. So the ideal mechanical advantage is 2πL/P. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  20. Water Wheels convert the energy of free-flowing or falling water into useful forms. A water wheel consists of a large wooden or metal wheel, with blades or buckets arranged on the outside rim forming the driving surface. Prior uses of water wheels include milling flour and grinding wood into pulp for papermaking. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  21. Applications of Water Wheels Mine hoist HU121_Lect5_Machines

  22. Applications of Water Wheels Saw Mill HU121_Lect5_Machines

  23. In the Alexandrian War in 48 BC Caesar's enemies employed waterwheels to pour sea water from elevated places on the position of the trapped Romans Sakia • a water wheel used primarily in irrigation. • It is a large hollow wheel, normally made of metal sheet. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  24. Water Wheels in the Muslim World • The engineers of the Islamic world developed several solutions to achieve the maximum output from a water wheel. • One solution was to mount them to piers of bridges to take advantage of the increased flow. • Shipmill, a type of water mill powered by water wheels mounted on the sides of ships as they sail. This technique was employed along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in 10th century Iraq, • The engineers Al-Jazari in the 13th century and Taqi al-Din in the 16th century described many inventive water-raising machines in their technological treatises. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  25. Norias of Hamah • The noria wheel is up to 20 meters in diameter. • Wooden boxes attached to the wheel raise the water from the river into an artificial channel at the summit of the wheel's rotation. • The water is then led by gravity along a series of aqueduct channels. HU121_Lect5_Machines

  26. Persian Wheel • The first recorded perpetual motion machines were documented by the Indian author Bhaskara (c. 1159), who made sketches of something called the “Persian Wheel” • This device suggests flowing water (or sand) to create a “perpetual motion” 26 HU121_Lect5_Machines

  27. Perpetual Motion • The first sketch of a perpetual motion machine in the Western world was made by Villard de Honnecourt (c. 1250). • The principle was similar tothe “Persian Wheel”, but itrelied on levers and weightsto achieve imbalance. • It was studied extensively by Leonardo Da Vinci in the late 1400's. 27 HU121_Lect5_Machines

  28. Leonardo DaVinci’s Machine15th Century • On one side of the wheel the hammers extend straight out, making a longer lever arm (the distance from the center of the wheel to the hammer's head). • On the opposite side of the wheel, the hammers lay close and make a short lever arm. • Since the lever ratio is greater where the hammers stick out, it is unbalanced and makes the system want to tip, and thus the wheel to rotate. • As it rotates around, the next hammer falls into place continuing the motion "perpetually".
