Dynamic Force Analysis - Worked Example

1. A four – bar mechanism shown in Fig. P–1 is subjected to a force of


2 ∠ 600 kN on the link CD. The dimensions of the various links are :
AB = AD = 300 mm ; BC = 450 mm ; CD = 400 mm ; CE = 150 mm ;
∠ BAD = 1000. Determine the required input torque on the crank.

Solution :

As the mechanism is in static equilibrium each of its members must also


be in equilibrium individually.
 Member 4 is acted upon by three forces F (2 kN), F34, F14.
 Member 3 is acted upon by two forces F23 and F43.
 Member 2 is acted upon by two forces F32 and F12 -- and -- a
torque T.
Initially the direction and sense of some of the forces are not known.
Therefore, adopt the following procedure to obtain the solution.
 The force F on the member 4 is known completely (i.e., in
magnitude, direction, and sense). To know the other two forces
acting on this member (i.e., F34 and F14) completely the direction
of one or more forces must be known. To know that the link 3,
which is a two – force member, will have to be considered first.
 As the link 3 is a two – force member as shown in Fig.P–1 (b)
for its equilibrium, F23 and F43 must act along BC -- (at this stage
the neither the direction nor sense of these forces are known) --
Thus, it is only known that both these forces must act along BC.
 As the force F34 acts through the point C on the link 4 draw a
line parallel to BC through C -- by taking a free body of the link 4
-- to represent the direction of the force F34.
 Now as the link 4 is a three – force member, the third force F 14
must pass through the intersection of F and F 34 as the three forces
arte to be concurrent for equilibrium of the link as shown in
Fig.P–1 (c) by drawing a force triangle oec as the force F is
completely known. Thus draw oe to represent the known force F,
and draw lines -- one from o parallel to DP, and one from e parallel
to PC -- to intersect at c. By measuring oc and ec the nagnitudes
of F14 and F34 are known as shown in Fig.P–1 (d).
 Now from the force triangle oec F34 = 1.4 kN and F14 = 1.06 kN.
Now, F34 = – F43 = F23 = – F32 Member 2 will be in equilibrium if
F12 is equal, parallel, and opposite to F32 as shown in Fig.P–1 (e).
 Now the Torque T = – F 32 × h From Fig.P–1 (e) h = 299.8 mm.
(by measurement) ∴ Torque = T = – 1.4 × 299.8 = – 419.72 kN – mm
(or) – 419.72 N – m (clockwise).
