Book Content Overview
- Covers topics ranging from simple mechanisms to complex machine dynamics.
- Includes sections such as velocity and acceleration analysis, cam and followers, gears and gear trains, and mechanical vibrations.
Simple Mechanisms
-
Types of Motion:
- Completely Constrained: Motion in a definite direction under applied force.
- Successfully Constrained: Motion possible in multiple directions but constrained to one by a third link.
- Incompletely Constrained: Motion in multiple directions depending on the force applied.
-
Types of Links:
- Rigid Links: Examples include crank, connecting rod, piston.
- Flexible Links: Include belts, ropes, and chains.
- Fluid Links: Such as hydraulic brakes or jacks.
Kinematic Pairs
- Joints between two links allowing constrained relative motion.
- Types by Relative Motion: Turning pair, sliding pair, screw pair, rolling pair, spherical pair.
- Types by Nature of Contact: Lower pair (area contact) vs. higher pair (point contact).
Gears and Gear Train
- Involute gears can face interference when mating with non-involute profiles.
-
Methods to Prevent Interference:
- Undercutting: Material removal below base circle, reducing gear strength.
- Increase Pressure Angle: Increases contact area but has maximum limits (20º to 25º).
- Stubbing the Tooth: Removes part of the tooth to prevent contact with non-involute portions.
- Increasing Number of Teeth: Leads to smaller tooth size but may increase complexity.
Single Slider Crank Mechanism
- Crank rotates with a constant angular speed, with key variables:
- r: Crank radius
- l: Length of connecting rod
- θ: Angle turned by the crank
- n: Obliquity ratio, defined as r/l.
- Piston Displacement: Formula to calculate piston position based on crank angle.
- Piston Velocity: Related to the angular position of the crank and is critical in motion analysis.
Gyroscope Effects
- In Aviation: The gyroscopic couple affects the nose and tail positions during turns, with specific effects based on crank rotation direction.
- In Naval Ships: Similar principles apply; gyroscopic effects cause the bow or stern to lift or drop based on the steering direction.
Key Terms
- Torque: Define formulas for input and output torque in gear systems and balance equations for fixed torque scenarios.
- Efficiency: Efficiency of gear drives calculated comparing input and output work parameters.
This summary encapsulates essential concepts and principles relevant to the theory of machines, providing a concise study guide for mechanical engineering students.
