Dynamic Analysis of Slider Crank Mechanisms

The document discusses the dynamic analysis of slider crank mechanisms. It provides equations to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the piston, as well as the angular velocity and acceleration of the connecting rod. Additionally, it examines the forces acting on an engine, including the piston effort, force along the connecting rod, thrust on the cylinder sides, crank effort, and thrust on the bearings. Key equations are presented to calculate these forces.

Dynamic Analysis of Slider Crank Mechanisms

• The steps involved for dynamic analysis of a four-link


mechanism can be used to solve for analysis of slider
crank mechanism.
• Analytical method also can be used to solve problems in
slider crank.

Fig- slider crank mechanism


Dynamic Analysis of Slider Crank Mechanisms
Velocity And Acceleration of A Piston
Fig Shows a slider crank mechanism in which
the crank OA rotates in the clockwise direction. l
and r are the lengths of the connecting rod and the
crank respectively.
Let x = displacement of piston from inner-dead
centre
At the moment when the crank has turned
through angle θ from the inner dead centre.
Dynamic Analysis of Slider Crank Mechanisms
Velocity And Acceleration of A Piston
x = r (1-cos θ)
This is the expression for a simple harmonic motion.
Thus, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion when
the connecting rod is large.
1. Velocity of piston
Expression for velocity is given by,
v = rω[sin θ + sin 2θ/2n]
If sin 2θ/2n can be neglected (when n is quite large),
v = rω sin θ
Dynamic Analysis of Slider Crank Mechanisms
2. Acceleration of Piston
Expression for acceleration is given by,
f = r ω2 cos θ in case of Simple harmonic motion
When θ=00 , i.e., at IDC, f=r ω2(1+1/n)
When θ=1800 , i.e., at ODC, f=r ω2(-1+1/n)
At θ=1800, when the direction of motion is
reversed,
f=r ω2(1-1/n)
Dynamic Analysis of Slider Crank Mechanisms
Angular Velocity And Angular Acceleration of The
Connecting Rod
1.Angular Velocity
The expression for Angular velocity of the connecting rod
is given by,

Angular Velocity, ωc = ω cos θ/[n*(1/n)* 𝑛2-sin2 θ]


Dynamic Analysis of Slider Crank Mechanisms
Angular Velocity And Angular Acceleration of The
Connecting Rod
2. Angular Acceleration
The expression for Angular acceleration of the connecting
rod is given by,

αc = - ω2 sin θ [ (n2-1)/(n2-sin2 θ)3/2]


The negative sign indicates that the sense of angular
acceleration of the rod is such that it tends to reduce the
angle β. Thus, in the given case, the angular acceleration of
the connecting rod is clockwise.
Engine Force Analysis
• An engine is acted upon by various forces such
as weight of reciprocating masses and connecting
rod, gas forces, forces due to friction and inertia
forces due to acceleration and retardation of
engine elements, the last being dynamic in
nature.
• The analysis is made of the forces neglecting the
effect of the weight and the inertia effect of the
connecting rod.
Engine Force Analysis
1. Piston Effort (Effective Driving Force)
The piston effort is termed as the net or effective
force applied on the piston. In reciprocating engines, the
reciprocating masses accelerate during the first half of the
stroke and the inertia force tends to resist the same. Thus,
the net force on the piston is decreased.
During the later half of the stroke, the reciprocating
masses decelerate and the inertia force opposes this
deceleration or acts in the direction of the applied gas
pressure and thus, increases the effective force on the
piston.
Engine Force Analysis
In a vertical engine, the weight of the reciprocating
masses assists the piston during the outstroke (down
stroke), thus, increasing the piston effort by an amount
equal to the weight of the piston. During the instroke
(upstroke), the piston effort is decreased by the same
amount.

Let A1 = area of the cover end


A2 = area of the piston rod end
P1 = pressure on the cover end
P2 = pressure on the rod end
m = mass of the reciprocating parts
Engine Force Analysis
Force on the piston due to gas pressure,
Fp = p1A1 – p2A2
Inertia force,
Fb = mf = mr ω2 (cos θ + cos 2θ/n )
Which is in the opposite direction to that of the
acceleration of the piston.
Net (effective) force on the piston,
F = Fp – Fb
In case friction resistance Ff is also taken into account,
Force on the piston,
F = Fp – Fb – Ff
Engine Force Analysis
In case of vertical engines, the weight of the piston
or reciprocating parts also acts as force and thus
force on the piston,
F = Fp + mg – Fb – Ff

2. Force (Thrust) Along The Connecting Rod


Let Fc = Force in the connecting rod (Fig.)
Then equating the horizontal components of
forces,
Fc * cos β= F or Fc = F/cos β
Engine Force Analysis

Fig –Forces In Connecting Rod


Engine Force Analysis
3. Thrust on the Sides of Cylinder
It is the normal reaction on the cylinder walls.
Fn = Fc sin β = F tan β

4.Crank Effort
Force is exerted on the crankpin as a result of the
force on the piston. Crank effort is the net effort (force)
applied at the crankpin perpendicular to the crank which
gives the required turning moment on the crankshaft.
Let Ft = crank effort
As Ft * r = Fc r sin (θ+β)

Ft = Fc sin (θ+β) = (F/cos β) * sin(θ+β)


Engine Force Analysis
5. Thrust on the Bearings
The component of Fc along the crank (in the radial
direction) produces a thrust on the crankshaft bearings.
Fr = Fc cos (θ+β) = (F/cos β) * cos (θ+β)

• Turning Moment On Crankshaft


Turning moment on crankshaft can be expressed as,
T= Ft*r = (F/cos β)*r* sin (θ+β)
T = F/cos β (OD cos β) = F*OD
