Resolution Composition

The document discusses five methods for determining velocities and accelerations in machines: 1) Resolution and Composition Method, 2) Instantaneous Axis of Velocity Method, 3) Parallel Line Method, 4) Centro Method, and 5) Relative Velocity Method or Velocity Polygon Method. It focuses on explaining the Resolution and Composition Method, which determines unknown velocities by resolving known velocity vectors into components and setting one component of the unknown velocity equal to the known component. The method can be used for cranks, connecting rods with two collinear points, and connecting rods with three or more collinear or coplanar points, provided one velocity is given with both magnitude and direction and one unknown velocity has a given direction.

VELOCITY ANALYSIS

Velocities and accelerations in machines may be determined analytically and graphically. Often, an
analytical analysis becomes quite complicated and, in some cases, impossible. The graphical analyses are more
direct, less complicated, and usually sufficiently accurate.

 There are five commonly used methods for obtaining velocities:

1. Resolution and Composition Method


2. Instantaneous Axis of Velocity Method
3. Parallel Line Method
4. Centro Method
5. Relative Velocity Method or Velocity Polygon Method

Velocity – is defined as the time rate of change of position of a point. Since this change of position or displacement
is a vector quantity, velocity is also a vector quantity, having the sense of the displacement being taken on.

Where:
V = velocity (ft/sec)
 = instantaneous angular velocity (rad/sec)
R = radius (ft)
N = speed (rev/min or rpm)

RESOLUTION AND COMPOSITION:

If the velocity of one point and the direction of the velocity of any other point on a body are known, the
velocity of any other point on that body may be obtained by resolving the known velocity vector into components
along and perpendicular to the line joining these points and making one of the components of the velocity of the
other point equal to the component along the line.

Case I: For CRANKS ONLY:


Case II: For CONNECTING RODS (2 points-colinear)

Conditions:
a. One velocity must be given (both magnitude and direction)
b. The unknown velocity must have a given direction

Case III: For CONNECTING RODS (3 or more points-colinear)

Conditions:
a. One velocity must be given (both magnitude and direction)
b. One of the unknown velocity must have a given direction
Case IV: For CONNECTING RODS (3 or more points-coplanar)

Conditions:
a. One velocity must be given (both magnitude and direction)
b. One of the unknown velocity must have a given direction

Example:
Crank 2 with a length of 1 ½ feet rotates for a counter-clockwise motion with a speed of 152.79 rpm. Compute for
Velocity A and find the velocities of all the points in fps.
Kv = 1 in : 16 fps
