Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

Consider a reciprocating steam engine mechanism OCP as shown in Fig.11.1.

Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

The velocity and acceleration of various parts of reciprocating mechanism can be determined, both analytically and graphically.

Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

As already stated, when the inertia effect due to the rotating/reciprocating parts is considered in addition to the externally applied loads, such a force analysis is known as dynamic force analysis.

Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

In this chapter, the basics of static and dynamic force analysis are addressed.

Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

The three methods used for static force analysis of mechanisms are: 1. Principle of superposition, 2. Principle of virtual work, and 3. Method of normal and radial components.

Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

The primary tool for the engineer in performing force (or load) analysis of machines and structures is the free body diagram or FBD.

Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

The external forces acting on a system of body from outside the system are called applied forces.

Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

Fig.10.1(a) shows the free body diagram of a two-force member, which is in equilibrium.

Force Analysis - Theory of Machines

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

A body or group of bodies is said to be in equilibrium if all the forces exerted on the system are in balancé.

Learning Objectives, Introduction

Subject and UNIT: Theory of Machines: Unit IV: Force Analysis

In all the previous chapters, we limited ourselves to consideration of the geometry of the motions and of the relationships between displacement and time.
