Velocity and Acceleration Analysis of Link 2

The document describes how to use a velocity polygon to determine the velocity of link 6 in a mechanism. It involves determining angular velocities and linear velocities of various links based on given angular velocities. Points A*, B, and D lie on the same horizontal line. The angular velocity of link 2 is given as 6 rad/s clockwise.

Draw the velocity polygon to determine the velocity of link 6.

Points A*, B, and D are on the same


horizontal line. The angular velocity of link 2 is 6 rad/s CW.

Solution:
(a) Velocity Analysis

v A3  v A 2  v A 2 A*

vB 4  v B3  v A 3  vB 3 A 3
vC 5  vC 3
vD 6  vD 5  vC 5  vD 5C 5

Now,

v A 2 A*  2  rA 2 A*  v A 2 A*  2 rA 2 A*  6 1.8  cm/s   rA 2 A* 

Solve the equation for vB 4 graphically with a velocity polygon, and find vC 3 by image. From the
polygon.

vC 3  18.8 cm/s

Now,

vD 6  vD 5 in horizontal direction.

vD 5C 5  5  rD 5C 5  vD 5C 5  5 rD 5C 5   rD 5C 5 
Solve the equation for vD5 graphically with a velocity polygon. From the polygon:

vD 6  vD5  7.92 cm/s


Determine the velocity and acceleration of point A on link 2 if 4  20 rad/s (constant).
Solution:
(a) Velocity Analysis
Members 2 and 3 slide on one another. Hence the velocity analysis proceeds as follows:

3   4

v A 2  v A3

vA3  v A4 vA3 A4

And v A 4  v A 4 A*  A* A .

Now,

v A 4  4 rAA*

A* A  3.0 / cos30o  3.464 cm


Hence,

v A 4  4 rAA*   20  3.464   69.28 cm/s 120o

Solve the first set of equation by means of a vector polygon using known directions of vA2  vA3 and
v A 4 A*

Then v A 2  80.58 cm/s 90o

Also v A3 A 4  34.89 cm/s 30o

(b) Acceleration Analysis


For the acceleration analysis, we can make the following observations:

a A*  0,
3   4

And

a A 2  a A3 The direction will be along the vertical slide.

Then the governing equation is

a A 2  a A3  a A 4 A*  a A3 A4
In component form,

a A 2  a tA 4 A*  a Ar 4 A*  24  v A3 A4  a A3 A 4

The transverse acceleration term is

a tA 4 A*   4  rA 4 A*  0  rA 4 A*  0

The radial acceleration term is

 4

a Ar 4 A  4  4  rA A*   4 rA A*  202  3.464   1386 cm/s 2 (- rA A* direction )
2
4 4

The Coriolis term is

24  v A3 A 4  2  20  34.89  cm/s 2 120o

That leaves aA2 and a A3 A 4 as unknows. In both case the direction is known, so equation for aA2 can
be solved with an acceleration polygon.
From the polygon

a A3 A 4  2198 cm/s 2 30o

a A 2  1589 cm/s 2 
