Motion Analysis of a Typical Crank-Slider Mechanism

Motion Analysis of a Typical Crank-Slider Mechanism

Summary

This document outlines the requirements for a summative assessment in the module "Computer

Integrated Product Development." The assessment, which is worth 35% of the module grade,

involves a motion analysis of a four-bar linkage mechanism. Students are expected to spend

approximately 30 hours on this individual assignment, which must be submitted electronically via

Canvas. Late submissions will be penalized, with work submitted up to a week late capped at 40%,

and no marks awarded for submissions after that time.

The assessment tasks students with developing a simplified 3D CAD model of the mechanism using

Siemens NX, conducting a motion analysis, deriving analytical equations for the mechanism's

motion, and comparing numerical and analytical solutions to evaluate the accuracy of the results.

The final deliverable is a technical report detailing the work done in four parts: CAD modeling,

numerical consideration (motion simulation), analytical consideration, and results. The report should

also include an introduction, conclusions and discussion, and references.

Assessment criteria are provided, with marks allocated for the introduction, CAD modeling,

numerical and analytical considerations, results, and discussion and conclusions. The document

also includes references to support the assessment, such as "Theory of Machines and Mechanisms"

by Uicker, Pennock, and Shigley.

Key Points:

- Assessment Weight: 35% of module grade

- Submission Deadline: Strictly enforced with penalties for late submissions
