Dynamic Force Analysis

The document discusses different methods for dynamic force analysis. It explains inertia force as an imaginary force that brings a rigid body to equilibrium. It also discusses D'Alembert's principle, which states that the resultant force and inertia force are in equilibrium. The document then describes steps for performing dynamic force analysis on a four bar mechanism, which involves determining accelerations, inertia forces, replacing forces with equivalent offsets, and using principles like superposition to find torque requirements. Finally, it introduces using a matrix method for dynamic force analysis of a four bar mechanism.

D-Alembert’s Principle
 The resultant force acting
on a body together with
the inertia force are in
equilibrium.
F – m a = 0
 Reduce a dynamic
problem into an
equivalent static problem.

Dynamic force analysis of four


bar mechanism
Steps of dynamic force analysis:
1. Determine angular acceleration of all links
2. Determine linear acceleration of center of
mass agi of links 2, 3, and 4
3. Inertia force of link i = - mi ai
4. Inertia couple = - Iiai
5. Replace inertia force and couple by the
equivalent offset inertia force for each link.

Dynamic force analysis of four


bar mechanism
Steps of dynamic force analysis:
6. Treat these offset inertia force as external
force and follow the procedure for static
force analysis.
7. Use either super-position principle or
principle of virtual work to find the required
torque for equilibrium.
