Lecture 5 - Displacement Analysis - Part A

This document provides an overview of position analysis techniques for mechanisms. It discusses graphical and algebraic methods for kinematic analysis of four-bar linkages using displacement, velocity and acceleration analysis. Key steps include using coordinate systems to define link positions, constructing graphical solutions, developing vector loop equations, and solving the equations to determine unknown link angles based on an input angle. The goal of position analysis is to determine the angular displacement of links in a mechanism.

• Clockwise angles, velocities and accelerations - negative

Analytical Method
• Derive displacement/position equations
• Differentiate displacement/position equations for deriving velocity equations
• Differentiate velocity equations for deriving acceleration equations
• Solve equations for each degree increment of input link
• Computer software - Linkages, MSC Adams, 3D-modelling softwares

Translation, Rotation and Complex Motion

Euler’s Theorem - applies to pure rotation

• General displacement of rigid body with one point fixed is


rotation about some axis

Chasle’s theorem – applies to complex motion

• Any displacement of rigid body is equivalent to sum of


translation of any one point on that body and rotation of body
about axis through that point

Construction of graphical position solution
Given
• Given
• Four link lengths - a, b, c, d
• Angle of input link - θ2

Step 1
• Draw ground link and input link to convenient scale such that they intersect at origin O 2 of GCS with link 2
placed at input angle θ2
• Draw link 1 along X-axis for convenience
Step 2
• Open compass equal to link length b, place compass at point A and draw arc

Step 3
• Open compass equal to link length c, place compass at point B and draw arc

Step 4
• Two arcs intersects at B and B’. Draw coupler (join point A and point B) and rocker (join O 4 to B)
Step 5
• Measure θ3 and θ4 with protractor

• Coordinates of point B

c2 = (Bx - d)2 + By2 ---------------------- (4.2c)

• Substituting equation 4.2d into 4.2c gives a quadratic equation in By which

Algebraic Position Analysis of Linkages

•  Solution of 4.2f - real or imaginary values


• Imaginary solution - links cannot connect at given input angle or at all
• Once two values of By found (if real) – substitute into equation 4.2d to find
corresponding Bx
• Link angles for this position can then be found from
θ3 = tan-1 ---------------------- (4.2g)

θ4 = tan-1
Algebraic Position Analysis of Linkages

• Two-argument tan-1 function must be used to solve 4.2g since angles can be
in any quadrant
• Encode 4.2 in any computer language or equation solver, increment angle of
θ2 and fine all corresponding angles (θ3 and θ4) of other two link angles
