Explain briefly about the Inversions of Four Bar Chain.
PQRS is a four bar chain with link PS fixed. The lengths of the links are PQ =
62.5 mm ; QR = 175 mm; RS = 112.5 mm ; and PS = 200
mm. The crank PQ rotates at 10 rad/s clockwise. Draw the velocity and
acceleration diagram when angle QPS = 60° and Q and R lie on the same side
of PS. Find the angular velocity and angular acceleration of links QR
and RS.
The crank of a slider crank mechanism rotates clockwise at a constant speed of
300 r.p.m. The crank is 150 mm and the connecting rod is 600 mm long.
Determine : 1. Linear velocity and acceleration of the midpoint of the connecting
rod, and 2. angular velocity and angular acceleration of the connecting rod, at a
crank angle of 45° from inner
dead centre position.
The following data relate to a cam profile in which the follower is a knife edge
follower and moves with SHM during ascent and descent. Minimum radius of
cam is 25mm, lift = 30mm, angle of ascent = 120°, angle of descent = 100°,
angle of dwell between ascent and descent=80°, speed of the cam =200 rpm.
Draw the profile of the cam and determine the maximum velocity and
maximum acceleration
during out stroke and the return stroke of the follower.
A cam, with a minimum radius of 25 mm, rotating clockwise at a uniform speed
is to be designed to give a roller follower, at the end of a valve rod, motion
described below : 1. To raise the valve through 50 mm during 120° rotation of
the cam ; 2. To keep the valve fully raised through next 30°; 3. To lower the
valve during next 60°; and 4. To keep the valve closed during rest of the
revolution i.e. 150° ; The diameter of the roller is 20 mm and the diameter of the
cam shaft is 25mm.
Draw the profile of the cam when the line of stroke of the valve rod passes
through the axis of the cam shaft, and the displacement of the valve, while being
raised and lowered, is to take place with simple harmonic motion.
