8.acceleration analysis

Kinematic Analysis: Scope

•Need to know the dynamic forces to be able to compute stresses in the components

• Dynamic forces are proportional to acceleration (Newton second law)

• Goal shifts to finding acceleration of all the moving parts in the assembly

•In order to calculate the accelerations:

• need to find the positions of all the links , for all increments in input motion

• differentiate the position eqs. to find velocities, diff. again to get accelerations

Acceleration analysis

Acceleration: Rate of change of velocity with respect to time

The change of velocity, as the body moves from P to Q can be determined by drawing the

vector triangle opq, in which op and oq represent the velocities at P and Q, respectively.

pq represents the change of velocity in time δt.

pq can be resolved into two components, namely,

- px (parallel to op), and

- xq (perpendicular to op).


The change of velocity (pq) has two components (px and xq) which are mutually

perpendicular, hence, the rate of change of velocity, that is, acceleration will also have two

mutually perpendicular components.

AT = r α AN = r ω2 = V2

T

r


The change of velocity (pq) has two components (px and xq) which are mutually

perpendicular, hence, the rate of change of velocity, that is, acceleration will also have two

mutually perpendicular components.

If the body moves with a uniform velocity, then dv/dt=d(w)/dt=α=0; and the body has only AN

If the body moves on a straight path, r is infinite, and v2/r=0; and the body has only AT

Straight path Uniform velocity

Only tangential acceleration Only centripetal acceleration

Acceleration analysisGraphical method Vector loop method

Consider a rigid link AB. If A is assumed to be fixed then the only possible motion for B is rotation

about A (as the centre).

Acceleration analysis: Graphical Method

Acceleration of a point on a link

2 things are known:

I . the acceleration of A.

ii. Direction of VB

The acceleration of B can be determined

in magnitude and direction, graphically

Completely known

Just direction is known, perpendicu-

lar to the radial component, so….

…..just draw the direction

Just direction is known, parallel to

the path of B ….so just draw aB…….

Acceleration analysis: Coriolis component

When a point on one link slides along another rotating link, then a component of

acceleration, called Coriolis component of acceleration comes into play

The tangential component of acceleration of the slider (B) with respect to the coincident point (C) on the

rotating link is known as coriolis component of acceleration and is always perpendicular to the link
