Because the mechanism is symmetric, we need only consider one half of it. The inertia force oneach weight will be

The problem is to determine the angular velocity. Therefore, we will treat the inertia force as anunknown force. Once we determine the magnitude of fI, we can determine the value for theangular velocity from Eq. (1).

A freebody diagram of links 2, 3, and 6 are shown in Fig. 14.2.1. To analyze the system, startwith link 2 and sum forces in the vertical direction . Before doing this, however, note that

F32 = F42

Then, summing forces in the vertical direction for link 2 gives

as indicated in Fig. 14.2.1. The freebody diagram for link 6 now has only three unknowns.Therefore, we can solve for the unknowns. To find the inertia force, we can sum moments aboutpoint H without solving for F76 . Then,

MH = 0 = F36(FH) + fI (HDcos45̊ ) 1(HDsin45˚)

or

7.071(3.76)+ fI(5.54cos45̊ ) 1(5.54sin 45̊ ) = 0or

fI =(5.54sin45̊ )+ 7.071(3.76)

(5.54cos45̊ )= 7.787 lb

Therefore, from Eq. (1),

0.01339 2 = 7.787

Then,2 = 7.7870.01339

= 581.5

Problem 14.3

Solve Problem 14.2 assuming a coefficient of friction of 0.3 at each of the six pin joints. Thediameter of each joint is 0.8 in.

Solution:

The inertia force on each weight will be

fI =mar = Wgr 2 = W

3865.54sin45̊ +2.5 / 2[ ] = 0.01339 2 (1)

The problem can be approached either graphically or analytically. However, because a nonlinearproblem is involved, it is easiest to solve the problems graphically using friction circles (Chapter11). To determine the general direction of the force vectors, we need to conduct a friction freeanalysis first. Freebody diagrams of the links are shown in Fig. 14.3.1. Note that we are usingthe fact that the mechanism is symmetric so that we need analyze only half of the mechanism.Also, we will use skeletal diagram for the links to simplify the drawings.

To start the analysis, sum forces on link 2. Then,

F = 0 = F32 + F42 10j

The force polygon is shown in Fig. 14.3.2. From the polygon,

F32 = 7.07 lb .

The freebody diagram for link 6 has three unknowns. To solve the problem graphically, we needto resolve the weight of the counter weight and F36 into a single vector. The resultant we willcall P. Next, resolve P and fI into a single vector. We cannot find the magnitude yet, but weknow that the resultant must go through the point of intersection of the two vectors. After this isdone, there will be only two forces acting on link 6. Therefore, the line of action of F76 mustpass through the intersection of P and fI. Knowing the direction of F76, we can complete theanalysis by summing forces on link 6. That is,

Next consider the friction case. We now know the general direction of the forces, and from akinematic analysis, we can determine the direction of the friction torques. These tend to opposethe relative motion. The general directions of the relative angular velocities and friction torquesare shown in Fig. 14.3.3.

To use the friction circle approach, we need to compute the radius of the friction circles. This isgiven by Eq. (11.15) as

Rf = Rsinwhere

= tan 1µ = tan 10.3 =16.7̊

Then,

Rf = Rsin = 0.4sin(16.7) = 0.115 in .

The friction circles are also shown in Fig. 14.3.3. The forces are located relative to the frictioncircles so that the effect of the force is to create the friction torque on the free body of the link.The forces are located on the proper sides of the circle in Fig. 14.3.3.

The freebody diagrams with the forces located properly are shown in Fig. 14.3.4. We can thenfollow the same general procedure as was used in the nonfriction case. That is, start summingforces on link 2. Then,

F = 0 = F32 + F42 10j

Problem 14.4

A wheel, of mass m and radius r, rolls without slipping on a horizontal plane. It hits a step ofheight h. If the velocity of the center of the wheel before striking the step is V, directed asshown, find:

1. The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the center of the wheel immediately after theimpact

2. The minimum value of V for which the wheel surmounts the step

3. The impulse exerted on the wheel by the edge of the step at impact

The impact may be considered to take place over a vanishingly small time interval. The wheel isassumed to remain in contact with the edge of the step after the impact. The wheel may beconsidered to have moment of inertia about its center in the direction of rotation I = mr2.

Solution

Part 1

Before impact, the angular momentum about the top edge of the step is

H1 =mV(r h) + IVr

for the wheel,

I =mr2

Therefore,

= mV r h + r[ ] =mV 2r h[ ](1)

Immediately after impact, the wheel will rotate about the corner of the step. Let the velocity be uas shown in Fig. 14.4.1. Then, the angular momentum about the edge of the step is

H2 =mru + Iur= mur + u

rmr2 = 2mur (2)

By conservation of angular momentum,

H1 =H2 2mur =mV 2r h[ ]

Then,u =V 2r h[ ] / (2r)

The direction is given by

= cos 1 r hr( )

Part 2

The cylinder will just reach the top of the step, when all of the initial kinetic energy is convertedto potential energy. The kinetic energy just after impact (energy is not conserved during impact)is

KE = 12mu2 + I 2[ ] = 1

2 mu2 + I u

r( )2

[ ] = 12 mu2 +mr2 ur( )2

[ ]= mu2 = mV2 2r h[ ]2 / (4r2)

and the potential energy is zero. After just reaching the top of the step, the potential energy ismgh and the kinetic energy is zero. Therefore,

mgh =mV2 2r h[ ]2 / (4r2)

or the initial velocity required to just reach the top of the step is

V = gh 2r2r h

Part 3:

To determine the impulse exerted on the wheel, we must determine the change in momentumbefore and after the impact. Before the impact

q1 =mVi

After impact (see Fig. 14.4.1),

q2 =mu cos i + sin j( )

From Fig. 14.4.2,

Problem 14.5

In the mechanism shown below, link 2 rotates at an angular velocity of 20 rad/s (CW) andangular acceleration of 140 rad/s2 (CW). Find the torque that must be applied to link 2 tomaintain equilibrium. Link 2 is balanced so that its center of mass is at the pivot O2. The centerof mass of link 3 is at A, and the mechanism moves in the horizontal plane. Friction may beneglected.

Inertia Force Analysis:

We can now conduct the inertia force analysis. There will be an inertia force associated witheach center of gravity. We will represent these forces with a lower case f to distinguish betweeninternal inertia forces and externally applied forces. The forces are

f12 = m21aG2 = 0f13 = m3 1aG3 = 0.74(42,400) = 31,380 kg mm / s2 =31.380 kg m / s2 = 31.380 N(opposite1aG3 )f14 = m41aG4 = 0.32(70,028) = 22,409 kg mm / s2 = 22.409 kg m / s2 = 22.409 N(opposite 1aG4 )

Links 2 and 3 have angular accelerations so only these links have inertia moments. The inertiamoments are given by

M12 = I2 1 2 = 0.00205(140) = 0.287N m (opposite 1 2 or CCW)M13 = I31 3 = 0.0062(140) = 0.868N m (opposite 1 3 or CW)

The inertia forces are shown in Fig. 14.5.2. The orientation angles for the forces and links areshown in Fig. 14.5.2.

A freebody diagram for each of the links is shown in Fig. 14.5.2. From the free body diagrams,it is clear that no single free body can be analyzed separately because in each case, fourunknowns result. Therefore, we must write the equilibrium equations for each freebody andsolve the equations as a set.

For the freebody diagram for link 4, assume initially that all of the unknown forces are in thepositive x and y directions. Then a negative result will indicate that the forces are in the negativedirection. Note that F14x = 0 because there is no friction between the slider and the frame.Summing forces in the X and Y directions gives

Fx = 0 F34x + f14 = 0 F34x = 22.409N

Fy = 0 F14y + F34

y = 0(3)

and summing moments about point A gives

Links 3 and 4 have angular accelerations so these links have inertia moments. The inertiamoments are given by

M13 = I31 3 = 0.0154(518,900) = 7,990 in lb (opposite 1 3 or CW)M14 = I4 1 4 = 0.0112(922,200) = 10,300 in lb (opposite 1 4 or CCW)

The inertia forces are shown in Fig. 14.6.2. The orientation angles for the forces and links areshown in Fig. 14.6.2.

A freebody diagram for each of the links is shown in Fig. 14.6.2. From the free body diagrams,it is clear that no single free body can be analyzed separately. Therefore, we must write theequilibrium equations for each freebody and solve the equations as a set.

For the freebody diagram for link 4, assume initially that all of the unknown forces are in thepositive x and y directions. Then a negative result will indicate that the forces are in the negativedirection. Summing forces in the X and Y directions gives

and summing moments about point A gives

Inertia Force Analysis:

We can now conduct the inertia force analysis. There will be an inertia force associated witheach center of gravity. We will represent these forces with a lower case f to distinguish betweeninternal inertia forces and externally applied forces. The forces are

f12 = m21aG2 = 0

f14 = m41aG4 =2.86386

(70,028) = 518.9 lb (opposite 1aG4 )

Only links 3 has an angular acceleration so only this link has an inertia moment. The inertiamoment is given by

M13 = I31 3 = 0.1085(7634) = 828.3 in lb (opposite 1 3 or CW)

The inertia forces are shown in Fig. 14.7.2. The orientation angles for the forces and links areshown in Fig. 14.7.2.

A freebody diagram for each of the links is shown in Fig. 14.7.2. From the free body diagrams,it is clear that no single free body can be analyzed separately because in each case, fourunknowns result. Therefore, we must write the equilibrium equations for each freebody andsolve the equations as a set.

For the freebody diagram for link 4, assume initially that all of the unknown forces are in thepositive x and y directions. Then a negative result will indicate that the forces are in the negativedirection. Note that F14x = 0 because there is no friction between the slider and the frame.Summing forces in the X and Y directions gives

Fx = 0 F34x + f14 = 0 F34x = 518.9 lb

Problem 14.8

In the mechanism shown, the center of mass of link 3 is at G3, which is located at the center oflink 3. The mass of link 3 is 0.5 kg. Its moment of inertia about G3 is 0.0012 N-s2-m. Theweights and moments of inertia of members 2 and 4 may be neglected. Link 2 is driven at aconstant angular velocity of 50 rad/s CW by the torque applied to link 2. The mechanism movesin the horizontal plane, and friction may be neglected.

1. Find the magnitudes and directions of the inertia force and inertia torque acting on link 3.

2. Find the magnitudes and directions of the forces exerted on link 3 by link 2 at A and by link 4at B . You may use either a graphical solution or numerical solution of the dynamicequilibrium equations.

Solution:

The basic position, velocity, and acceleration analysis have already been conducted. We needonly determine the acceleration of G3 by image and the angular acceleration of link 3. To dothis, we will redraw the acceleration diagram to scale as shown in Fig. 14.8.1. From thepolygon,

1aG3 = 39.8 m / s2= 39,800 mm / s2

Inertia Force Analysis:

We can now conduct the inertia force analysis. There will be an inertia force associated with thecenter of gravity of link 3. We will represent this force with a lower case f to distinguishbetween internal inertia forces and externally applied forces. The force is

f13 = m3 1aG3 = 0.5(37.1) =18.55 kg m / s2 =18.55N (opposite1aG3 )

Links 3 has an angular acceleration so this links has an inertia moment. The inertia moment isgiven by

M13 = I31 3 = 0.0012(530) = 0.636 N m (opposite 1 3 or CW)

The inertia forces are shown in Fig. 14.8.2 along with a freebody diagram of each link. From thefree body diagrams it is clear that this problem can be solved graphically. To do this, we mustreplace the inertia force and inertia moment by offsetting the inertia force by a distance h. Thedistance h is give by

h = M13f13

= 0.63618.55

= 0.0343m = 34.3mm

The solution is shown in Fig. 14.8.2. We know the direction of F14 and F34 because link 4 is atwo-force member. We then know the direction of F43 because

F43 = F34

Using the procedure given in Section 11.5 of the text, we can find the direction of F23 becausethe force F23 must pass through point A and the intersection of f13 (after it is offset by h) andF43 . Knowing the direction of F23 , we can sum forces vectorially on link 3 and determine themagnitudes of F43 and F23 . Then,

F = f13 + F23 + F43 = 0

From the force polygon,

F23=22.2N

and

F43=7.54 N

The directions are given on the force polygon for link 3. Link 2 can now be analyzed for forcesif necessary; however, this is not required for this problem.

Problem 14.9

Link AB of the geared five-bar linkage shown drives CCW against a load torque T15 = 25 in-lb. If1 2 = 0.001 rpm CW, find the driving torque T12. The mechanism moves in the horizontal plane,and friction may be neglected. The gears 2 and 3 are represented by their pitch circles. Bothgears turn on bearings supported by the tie link, 4. The weight of link 2 is small and can beneglected. Gear 3 is 0.2 in thick and may be treated as a solid disk.

Solution

This problem can be solved as a dynamics problem by performing a velocity, acceleration, andinertia force analysis; however, because of the slow speed of link 2, the accelerations will beextremely small. Therefore, the inertia forces throughout the system will be negligible comparedto the applied forces. As a result, this problem can be treated as a statics problem. Because themechanism operates in the horizontal plane, only the applied torque, T15 needs to be considered.

The problem then can be solved most easily using conservation of power and instant centers.From conservation of power,

T12 1 2 +T15 1 5 = 0 (1)

To use instant centers, we must draw the mechanism to scale. From Eq. (1), power is involved inlinks 2 and 5. Therefore, we I12, I15, and I25. Using the procedure discussed in Chapter 2, theinstant centers are located as shown in Fig. 14.9.1. Because I25 lies outside of both I12 and I15,both 1 2 and 1 5 will be in the same direction. Therefore, for Eq. (1) to be satisfied, the torquesT12 and T15 must be in opposite directions. As a result, T12 will be CW, and we need onlydetermine the magnitude of T12 . From Eq. (1),

T12 = T151 51 2

.

From the relationships for instant centers,

vI25 = 1 5(rI25 /I15) = 1 2(rI25 /I12)and

1 51 2

=rI25/I12rI25/ I15

Therefore,

T12 = T151 51 2

= T15rI25/I12rI25/ I15

.

From Fig. 14.9.1,

rI25/ I15 = 4.819 inand

Problem 14.10

A punch press similar to that of Example 14.5 is to punch holes of diameter up to 0.75 in throughsteel plate up to 0.375 in thick. The shear strength of the steel will range up to 60,000 psi. Therated speed of the motor is 1500 rpm, and a 10 % drop in motor speed is allowable. If holes areto be punched at a maximum rate of 1 per second, find the requisite motor power and flywheelinertia.

Solution

The maximum punch force is

F = d t

Page 35: Solutions to Chapter 14 Exercise Problems - … · - 544 - Solutions to Chapter 14 Exercise Problems Problem 14.1 The four-wheeled vehicle shown slides down a steep slope with its

- 578 -

where = 60,000 psi is the shear strength of the material, d is the diameter of the hole, and t isthe plate thickness. That is, the maximum punch force is simply the shear area multiplied by theshear strength. Then,

F = d t = (0.75)(0.375)(60,000) = 53,014 lb

The area under the curve of punch force versus depth of penetration is the energy used in thepunching operation. It can be measured experimentally, but as discussed in the text,

E =Ft

2(14.16)

is a frequently used approximation. Therefore,

E = Ft2=53,014(0.375)

2= 9,940 in lb= 828.3 ft lb

At a punching rate of once every second the average power required is

P =828.3 ft lb / (1)s =828.3 ft lb / s =1.506 hp

This is the power for which the motor should be sized.

Now, if the rated motor speed is 1500 rpm, we can assume that the maximum motor speed willbe this value so

2 =1,500 2

60= 157 rad/s

Also, we can assume that the motor speed quickly drops to its minimum value during the punchstroke and that it is then built back up approximately uniformly to the maximum value in theremainder of the cycle time. Therefore

= 1 + 2

2

is an adequate approximation to the average motor speed, .

Since the allowable motor speed variation is 10%, c = 0.10 and so, applying Eq. (14.13),

0.10 = 2 1 =2 2 1( )

2 + 1or

2 + 1 = 20 2 1( )

and1 = (19 / 21) 2

Substitution of 2 = 157 gives

1 = (19 / 21) 2 = (19 / 21)157 = 142 rad/s

Problem 14.11

A uniform rectangular plate is suspended from a rail by means of two bogies as shown. Theplate is connected to the bogies by means of frictionless hinge joints at A and at B. At time t=0the pin of joint B breaks, allowing the plate to swing downward. Write the equations of motionof the plate as it starts to move. Hence find its initial angular acceleration and the initialacceleration of point A.

You may assume that the rollers which support point A are frictionless and that they remain incontact with the rail. You may also assume that the angular displacement from the initialposition is small. The moment of inertia of a uniform rectangular plate with sides 2a and 2babout an axis normal to its plane passing through its centroid is m[(2a)2+(2b) 2]/12, where m isthe mass of the plate.
