KOM Assignment 3

The document contains 5 questions regarding mechanisms: 1) Derive expressions for displacement, velocity, and acceleration for a cam-follower system with both straight and circular contact. 2) Draw diagrams and derive expressions for velocity and acceleration for a follower that moves with uniform acceleration and retardation. 3) Synthesize a four-bar mechanism to generate a logarithmic function using three accuracy points. 4) Design a four-bar mechanism to coordinate three input-output positions using a relative pole method. 5) Determine the velocity and acceleration of point G in a five-bar mechanism given angular velocity and link lengths.

Assignment: 3

Q: 1. Derive expressions for displacement, velocity and acceleration for a tangent cam
operating on a radial-translating roller follower :
(i) when the contact is on straight flank, and
(ii) When the contact is on circular nose.
Q: 2. Draw the displacement, velocity and acceleration diagrams for a follower when it
moves with uniform acceleration and retardation. Derive the expression for velocity
and acceleration during outstroke and return stroke of the follower.
Q: 3. Synthesize a four bar mechanism to generate the function y = log x, where x
varies between 1 and 10. Use three accuracy points with Chebyshevs spacing.
Assume S = 45; F = 105; S = 135 and F = 225. Take the length of the smallest
link equal to 50 mm.
Q: 4. Design a four link mechanism to coordinate three positions of the input link and
the output link for the following angular displacements using relative pole method:

12 = 50o 12 = 40o
13 = 70o 13 = 75o

Q: 5. In a mechanism as shown in Fig. 8.39, the link AB rotates with a uniform angular
velocity of 30 rad/s. The lengths of various links are : AB = 100 mm ; BC = 300 mm ;
BD = 150 mm ; DE = 250 mm ; EF = 200 mm ; DG = 165 mm. Determine the
velocity and acceleration of G for the given configuration.
