1E10 Lecture in DesignMechanical & Manufacturing Engineering “Dynamics for the Mangonel”. Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Objective A small model Mangonel Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Objective Can we predict the distance? Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Objective A larger version! Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Objective What are the factors that control the distance? (The dynamics) Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Modelling Bigger means further? Some of the issues related to scaling up are discussed in Prof. Fitzpatrick’s lecture! (Reflect on these) Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Modelling For a given “size”, can we maximise the distance? What are the key parameters that control the distance? Can we formulate a model that will help us design our Mangonel? Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Fundamentals • force = mass x acceleration (ma) • work = force x distance (Fs) • energy== work • power = rate of work (work/time) Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Derived Units • Force (1N=1kgm/s2) • Work (1J=1Nm=1kgm2/s2) • Energy (J) • Power (1W=1J/s) Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics • Starting with some basic equations • Speedav=distance/time • Accelerationav=velocity/time Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics • Can derive equations for linear motion (for constant acceleration) • v=u+at • s=ut+1/2at2 • v2=u2+2as u=initial velocity v=final velocity t=time duration a=acceleration s=distance travelled Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics • Example 1: (1-D) • Kick a ball straight up. Given a given initial velocity, how high will it go? Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
a=-g Dynamics v=0 (at top) • Example 1: (1-D) • Use equation: • v2=u2+2as • s=u2/2g s=? u Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics • Example 2: (1-D) • Drop a rock from a cliff. How long will it take to hit the ground/sea? Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics • Example 2: (1-D) Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics u=0 (at top) • Example 2: (1-D) • Use equation: • s=ut+1/2at2 • s=1/2at2 s=? t (from stopwatch) Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
u=0 (at top) s=? t (from stopwatch) Dynamics • Example 2: (1-D) • s=1/2at2 Example Result: t=3s =>s=44m However! t=2.5s =>s=31m t=3.5s =>s=60m Sensitive to error: proportional to square of t! Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics • Can we use these equations to model the trajectory of the missile? • And hence predict the distance? A 2-D problem! Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics y x Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics 4 3 2 y s 1 x Discretise the curve Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics 4 3 v4 2 v3 y v2 1 x v1 Not u and v now but v1, v2, v3, v4, etc….. Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics 4 3 2 y s1y s1 1 x s1x We can decompose vectors (v, s, a) into x, y components Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics • v=u+at becomes: • vx2=vx1+ax1Δt • vy2=vy1+ay1Δt • s=ut+1/2at2 becomes: • Δsx=vx1Δt+1/2ax1Δt2 • Δsy=vy1Δt+1/2ay1Δt2 Acceleration is constant (for no drag of lift – we’ll return to this point later) ax=0! ay=-g t2-t1= Δt (keep time interval constant) Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin

Dynamics Copy formula down Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Dynamics Plot x versus y using chart wizard Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
Assignment 1 • Mangonel Dynamics Design Tool using Excel • Work in groups and/or individually in computer rooms today and during week to • Create excel spreadsheet as demonstrated • Plot x versus y • Study effect of changing velocity • Study effect of changing angle • An assignment will be set based on this work. Assignment to be submitted individually – no copying! Dr. Gareth J. Bennett Trinity College Dublin
