    Velocity in Mechanisms: Instantaneous Centre Method

    Uploaded by

    Drew Ladlow
    The document discusses two main methods for determining the velocity of points on moving links in a mechanism: 1. The instantaneous center method, which determines velocity based on the centers of rotation between links. 2. The relative velocity method. It also discusses types of instantaneous centers, how to locate them, and gives an example problem solving for the velocity of a link using instantaneous centers.

    Methods for Determining the
    Velocity of a Point on a Link
     Though there are many methods for determining the
    velocity of any point on a link in a mechanism whose
    direction of motion (i.e. path) and velocity of some
    other point on the same link is known in magnitude
    and direction,
     following two methods are important

    1. Instantaneous centre method


    2. Relative velocity method.

    Instantaneous Centre Method

    Number of Instantaneous Centres in a
    Mechanism
    Types of Instantaneous Centres
    1. Fixed instantaneous centres,
    2. Permanent instantaneous centres, and
    3. Neither fixed nor permanent instantaneous centres.
     The first two types i.e. fixed and permanent
    instantaneous centres are together known as primary
    instantaneous centres and
     the third type is known as secondary instantaneous
    centres.
     Consider a four bar mechanism ABCD as
    Types of Instantaneous Centres
     Consider a four bar mechanism ABCD as shown
     The number of instantaneous centres (N) in a four
    bar mechanism is given by
     I12 and I14-
     fixed instantaneous centres.
     I23 and I34-
     permanent instantaneous centres
     .I13 and I24
     are neither fixed nor permanent
    Location of Instantaneous Centres
     When the two links are connected by a pin joint (or
    pivot joint), the instantaneous centre lies on the
    centre of the pin as shown i(a). Such a
    instantaneous centre is of permanent nature, but if
    one of the links is fixed, the instantaneous centre
    will be of fixed type.
     When the two links have a pure rolling contact (i.e. link 2 rolls
    without slipping upon the fixed link 1 which may be straight or
    curved), the instantaneous centre lies on their point of contact, as
    shown The velocity of any point A on the link 2 relative to fixed link
    1 will be perpendicular to I12 A and is proportional to I12 A .
     In other words
    When the two links have a sliding contact, the
    instantaneous centre lies on the common
    normal at the point of contact
    Aronhold Kennedy (or Three Centres in
    Line) Theorem
     The Aronhold Kennedy’s theorem states that if three bodies
    move relatively to each other,they have three instantaneous
    centres and lie on a straight line.
     Consider three kinematic links A, B and C having relative plane
    motion. The number of instantaneous centres (N) is given by
    Method of Locating Instantaneous Centers in a
    Mechanism
     Consider a pin jointed four bar mechanism as shown in
    Fig.
    Problem-1
     In a pin jointed four bar mechanism, as shown in Fig.
    AB = 300 mm, BC = CD = 360 mm, and AD = 600
    mm. The angle BAD = 60°. The crank AB rotates
    uniformly at 100 r.p.m. Locate all the instantaneous
    centres and find the angular velocity of the link BC.
