L01 - Synthesis of Mechanism

This document contains a lecture on the synthesis of mechanisms. It discusses the analytical and graphical synthesis of four-bar mechanisms using Freudenstein's equation to satisfy given position, velocity, and acceleration specifications. It also describes the classification of synthesis problems into function generation, path generation, and motion generation. Precision points for function generation are discussed, along with an example of designing a four-bar mechanism using three precision points to generate a given function. Graphical synthesis of slider-crank and four-bar mechanisms is also briefly covered.

Synthesize of Mechanism

Dr. R. Jegadeeshwaran
Synthesis
• The synthesis of mechanism is the design
or creation of a mechanism to produce a
desired output motion for a given input
motion
• The synthesis of mechanism deals with
the determination of proportions of a
mechanism for the given input and output
motion.
Analytical Synthesis
Analytical Synthesis for Four Bar
Mechanism (Freudenstein’s Equation)
1. Synthesize a four bar linkage, as
shown in Fig., using Freudenstein’s
equation to satisfy in one of its
positions. The specification of
position θ, velocity ω and
acceleration α are as follows :
θ = 60°, ω2 = 5 rad/s; α2 = 2 rad/s2;
φ = 90°; ω4 = 2 rad/s; α4 = 7 rad/s2.
Assuming the length of one of links say a as one
unit,
Graphical Synthesis
Synthesis of Mechanisms
In the application of synthesis, to the design
of a mechanism, the problem divides itself
into the following three parts
• Type synthesis: The type of mechanism to
be used,
• Number synthesis: The number of links
and the number of joints needed to
produce the required motion, and
• Dimensional synthesis: The proportions or
lengths of the links necessary to satisfy
the required motion characteristics.
Classification of synthesis problems
● Function Generation:
Correlation of input motion with an
output motion in an mechanism.
● Path Generation:
Control of point in a plane such that it
follows prescribed path.
● Motion Generation:
Control of line in a plane such that it
assumes some prescribed set of
sequential positions.
Precision points for function generation

• The points at which the generated and


desired functions agree are known as
precision points or accuracy points and
must be located so as to minimize the
error generated between these points
• The best spacing of the precision points,
for the first trial, is called Chebychev
spacing
• A four bar mechanism is to be designed, by
using three precision points, to generate the
function y = x1.5 , for the range 1 ≤ x ≤ 4.
Assuming 30° starting position and 120°
finishing position for the input link and 90°
starting position and 180° finishing position
for the output link, find the values of x, y, θ
and φ corresponding to the three precision
points.
• xS = 1 ; xF = 4 ; θS = 30° ; θF = 120° ; φS = 90° ; φF
= 180°
Values of x
• Values of y
• Values of θ
Values of φ
Graphical Synthesis of Four Bar Mechanism
Three position synthesis
Graphical Synthesis of Slider Crank
Mechanism
• Synthesize a four-bar mechanism to generate
a function y = sin x for 0 ≤ x ≤ 90°. The range of
the output crank may be chosen as 60° while
that of input crank be 120°. Assume three
precision points which are to be obtained
from Chebyshev spacing. Assume fixed link to
be 52.5 mm long and θ1 = 105° and φ1 = 66°.
