Condition A B S Minab L Maxab SL S L PQ A B C D SL Return SL PQ If Return SL PQ If Return Otherwise

This document analyzes three mechanisms (Figures P2-4a, b, and d) and determines their Grashof condition and Barker classification. Figure P2-4a is a non-Grashof four-bar linkage that is a Barker Type 5 RRR1 mechanism. Figure P2-4b is a Grashof four-bar linkage that is a Barker Type 2 GCRR mechanism. Figure P2-4d is a special Grashof four-bar linkage that forms a parallelogram, making it a Barker Type 13 S2X mechanism.

KInematics and Dynamics of Machinery SOLUTION MANUAL 2-22-1

PROBLEM 2-22
Statement: Find the Grashof condition and Barker classifications of the mechanisms in Figure P2-4a, b, and d.
Solution: See Figure P2-4 and Mathcad file P0222.
1. Use inequality 2.8 to determine the Grashof condition and Table 2-4 to determine the Barker classification.

a. This is a basic fourbar linkage. The input is link 2 and the


output is link 4. The cross-hatched pivot pins at O2 and A
O4 are attached to the ground link (1). 2

This is a Barker Type 5 RRR1 (non-Grashof, longest O4
link grounded).

this case is the wheel with a pin at A, and the output is A

link 4. The cross-hatched pivot pins at O2 and O4 are

This is a Barker Type 2 GCRR (Grashof, shortest link is O4


input).

d. This is a fourbar linkage. The input is link 2, which in this


case is a wheel with a pin at A, and the output is the
vertical member on the coupler, link 3. Since the lengths
of links 2 and 4 (O2A and O4B) are the same, the coupler
link (3) has curvilinear motion and AB remains parallel to
O2O4 throughout the cycle. The cross-hatched pivot 3

pins at O2 and O4 are attached to the ground link (1). 2 B
