    This document discusses mechanisms and acceleration analysis. It defines a mechanism as something used to produce mechanical transformations, such as changing speeds or motions. Examples of mechanisms include can crushers and rowing machines. Acceleration diagrams are important for determining inertia forces on links. The acceleration of a point on a link has radial and tangential components. Slider crank mechanisms convert rotational to linear motion. Acceleration analysis is also important for mechanisms like the Whitworth quick-return mechanism and accounting for the Coriolis effect.

    INTRODUCTION

    The acceleration analysis plays a very


    important role in the development of
    machines and mechanisms.
    MECHANISM

    A mechanism is used to produce


    mechanical transformations in a machine.
    This
    transformation could be any of the following.
    3)It may convert one speed to another speed.
    4)It may convert one force to another force.
    5)It
    may convert one torque to another
    torque.
    6)It may convert force into torque.
    7)It
    may convert one angular motion to
    another angular motion.
    8)It
    may convert angular motion into linear
    motion.
    9)It
    may convert linear motion into angular
    motion.
    EXAMPLE OF MECHANISM

    EXAMPLE OF MECHANISMS

    Conceptual design for an


    exercise machine

    EXAMPLE OF MECHANISM
    • A good example is a crank, connecting rod and
    piston mechanism.

    • If the crank is turned, angular motion is converted


    into linear motion of the piston and input torque is
    transformed into force on the piston.
    CONSIDER THE NEXT MECHANISM USED IN
    SHAPING MACHINES AND ALSO KNOWN AS
    THE WHITWORTH QUICK- RETURN
    MECHANISM.
    ACCELERATION DIAGRAMS

     It is important to determine the acceleration


    of links because acceleration produces
    inertia forces in the link which stress the
    component parts of the mechanism.
     Accelerations may be relative or absolute.
    INERTIA FORCE

     One of the reasons for finding the


    acceleration of links is to calculate the
    inertia force needed to accelerate or
    decelerate it. This is based on Newton’s
    second law.

     Force = mass x acceleration F = M a

     Torque = moment of inertia x angular


    acceleration T = Iα
    ACCELERATION DIAGRAM FOR A LINK
    ACCELERATION OF A PARTICLE WHOSE VELOCITY CHANGES
    BOTH IN
    MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION AT ANY INSTANT HAS THE
    FOLLOWING TWO COMPONENTS :

    The centripetal or radial component, which


    is perpendicular to the velocity of the
    particle at the given instant.

    2. The tangential component, which is parallel


    to the velocity of the particle at the given
    instant.
    CENTRIPETAL OR RADIAL
    COMPONENT

    This radial component of acceleration acts


    perpendicular to the velocity VBA, In other
    words, it acts parallel to the link AB.
    TANGENTIAL COMPONENT
     This tangential component of acceleration acts
    parallel to the velocity VBA. In other words, it acts
    perpendicular to the link AB.

    LINK
    THE SLIDER-CRANK
    MECHANISM
    Another mechanism that is commonly
    encountered is a slider crank. This
    mechanism also consists of a combination
    of four links, with one being designated as
    the frame. This mechanism, however, is
    connected by three pin joints and one
    sliding joints.

    SLIDER-CRANK MECHANISM

    The mechanism has a stroke
    B1B2 equal twice the crank
    length r2.

    Locations B1 and B2 are called

    CORIOLIS COMPONENT OF
    ACCELERATION

    When a point on one link is sliding


    along another rotating link, such
    as in quick return motion
    mechanism, then the Coriolis
    component of the acceleration
    must be calculated.
    OR
    the Coriolis effect is an
    apparent deflection of moving
    objects when they are viewed
    from a rotating reference
    frame.
