Static force analysis: Slider crank mechanism
• It is a slider crank mechanism subjected to an
external force “P” acting on link-4
• The external force is supported by the input torque
applied on crank

Static force analysis: Slider crank mechanism
• In order to carry out force analysis, the free body
diagrams of the links are developed

Static force analysis: Slider crank mechanism
• Link-2 is acted upon by
two forces F32, F12 and
torque T
• Direction of F32 is known
• Direction of F12 is not
known
Under the action of these two forces and a
torque the link has to be in equilibrium

Static force analysis: Slider crank mechanism
• Link-3 is acted upon by
two forces F23, F43
• Direction of F23 is
known
• Direction of F43 known
Under the action of these two forces the link has
to be in equilibrium; It is a two force member

Static force analysis: Slider crank mechanism
• Link-4 is acted upon by
three forces F34, F14 and
the external force P
• Direction of F34 is known
• Direction of F14 is known
Under the action of these three forces the link has
to be in equilibrium; It is a three force member

Static force analysis: Slider crank mechanism
• P: External force for which magnitude, directions
and sense are known
• F34: Direction is known
• F14: direction is known

Drawing force polygon
• The force polygon for link-4 is drawn as a triangle
• Draw vector representing force P taking suitable scale
• Draw the direction of F34 through one of the ends of F
• Draw the direction of F14 through the other end of F
• Where these two lines intersect, completes the force
polygon

Force analysis
• From the force polygon drawn for link-4 F34 and F14 are
determined completely
• Force F34 and F43 are equal and opposite
• Link -3 is a two force member, hence force F34 and F23 are
equal and opposite to achieve equilibrium
• F23 is determined completely

Static force analysis: Slider crank mechanism
• Consider equilibrium of link-2 to determine the
torque T
13

Determination of torque T
• Link-2 is acted upon by two forces F32, F12 and torque T
• The force F32 is completely known as F23 is known
• Considering equilibrium of link-2,
T2 F12 xh F32 xh
• Measure “h” and use to determine torque “T2”

and link BC= 300 mm. The force applied on the piston is 1000N, when
the crank is at 600. Calculate the driving torque T2

BD=200 mm and link BC= 600 mm. The force applied on the piston
is 2000N, when the crank is at 450.force Q is acting on link 3 at 600
as shown in figure. Calculate the driving torque T2
