Inertia force of a translating body
Imaginaryforce, which when acts upon
a rigid body, brings it in an equilibrium
position.

D-Alembert’s Principle
The resultant force acting
on a body together with
the inertia force are in
equilibrium.
F – m a = 0
Reduce a dynamic
problem into an
equivalent static problem.

Dynamic force analysis of four
bar mechanism
Steps of dynamic force analysis:
1. Determine angular acceleration of all links
2. Determine linear acceleration of center of
mass agi of links 2, 3, and 4
3. Inertia force of link i = - mi ai
4. Inertia couple = - Iiai
5. Replace inertia force and couple by the
equivalent offset inertia force for each link.

Dynamic force analysis of four
bar mechanism
Steps of dynamic force analysis:
6. Treat these offset inertia force as external
force and follow the procedure for static
force analysis.
7. Use either super-position principle or
principle of virtual work to find the required
torque for equilibrium.
