DETERMINATION OF LINK VELOCITIES
There are two methods to determine the velocities of links of mechanisms. 1.Relative velocity method 2.Instantaneous centre method
2.1 Relative Velocity Method
Consider a rigid link AB, as shown in Fig.2.2(a), such that the velocity of A (va) is vertical and velo- city of B (vb) is horizontal. To construct the velocity diagram, take a point o. Draw oa representing the magnitude and direction of velocity of A. Draw ob along the direction of vb. From point ‘a’ draw a line ab perpendicular to AB, meeting ob in b. Then oab is the velocity triangle, as shown in Fig.2.1(b).. Vector ab is called the velocity image of link AB. The velocity of any point C in AB with respect to A is given by, Draw a velocity diagram Vb= 3m/s , Va= 5 m/s Va= 5 m/s , Vb= 6m/s get Vc Four-Bar Mechanism (a) Consider the four-bar mechanism, as shown in Fig. (a), in which the crank O1 A is rotating clockwise with uniform angular speed ω = 200 rpm , OA = 50 mm (b) Now consider the four-bar mechanism, as shown in Fig.(a), in which the crank AB is rotating at angular velocity ω = 200 rpm anticlockwise anticlockwise direction. Vb, Vc and Ve AB = 50 mm Slider–Crank Mechanism Consider the slider–crank mechanism, as shown in Fig (a), in which the crank OC is rotating clock- wise with angular speed ω = 300 rpm PC is the connecting rod and P is the slider or piston. Find Vc,Ve and Vp. OC = 50 mm Crank and Slotted Lever Mechanism Consider the crank and slotted lever mechanism, as shown in Fig. (a). The crank OB is rotating at a uniform angular speed = 300 rpm. Find Vb, Vc, Vd .
