ME321 Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines Steve Lambert Mechanical Engineering, U of Waterloo
Kinematics and Dynamics • Position Analysis • Velocity Analysis • Acceleration Analysis • Force Analysis We will concentrate on four-bar linkages
Dynamic (Force) Analysis • Determine the reaction forces on pins, etc. as a consequence of a specified motion, • Determine the input force of torque required to achieve a specified motion, or • Determine the motion as a consequence of a specified set of forces and/or torques. • Inverse Kinematics: start with the motion and determine the forces, or • Direct kinematics: start with the forces and determine the motion.
Force Analysis Define the centre of mass: And apply Newton’s Law:
Force Analysis Resolve forces into single applied force:
D’Alembert’s Principle where: Dynamic Kinetostatic
Equivalent Force Systems We can replace the inertia torque by applying the inertia force at a distance
Four-Bar Linkage If we can assume only one link has mass, the solution is simplified
Free Body Diagrams How many unknowns?
Analysis of Coupler • We know: • the magnitude and direction of Fo • the direction of F43 • Therefore, we have 3 equations and three unknowns
Analysis of Coupler Moment equilibrium gives direction of F23 Force equilibrium gives magnitudes for F23 and F43
More Complex Problems • When more than one link has mass: • Solve problem in parts, where only one link at a time has mass, and obtain total solution through superposition • Solve complete problem at once using equilibrium for all links, and solve resulting equations simultaneously in the matrix method
