13.1 INTRODUCTION
In a mechanism, the members are subjected to some form of loading. These loads may be due combustion of fuel in IC engines or hydraulic pressure in turbines, friction force due to sliding and turning pairs, inertia forces, weight, etc. Some of the forces are not always constant for different configurations of machine but these forces also can be considered constant for a particular configuration. The applied forces change with the change in configuration and, thereby, the loads carried by different members also change. Therefore, each configuration of the machine is considered as system of rigid bodies in equilibrium.
Objectives
After studying this unit, you should be able to do static force analysis of a mechanism, form dynamically equivalent system of two point masses for a given link, determine friction circles and friction axis, and perform dynamic force analysis.

Some of links are connected through the turning pairs. We can consider two links 2 and 3 as shown in Figure 13.2(a). Let link 3 rotate clockwise with respect to the link 2. Since the friction opposes the relative motion it produces counterclockwise couple. The friction force along with normal reaction is shown in Figure 13.2(b). These forces will be the distributed forces at the contact area. Figures 13.2(c) and (d) show the horizontal and vertical components of radial and tangential forces at two symmetric points of the element of link 3. It will be seen that the vertical components of the radial distributed load cancel with each other and horizontal components of tangential distributed load 6
cancel with each other. Therefore, there will be net reaction Rn and force of friction Rn. The force, exerted by link 2 on link 3, i.e. F23 is given by

Consider the motion of different links in Figure 13.3(b). The link 2 rotates counterclockwise. For impending slide of link 4, i.e. piston angle decreases. The angular velocity of link 3 relative to link 2 is clockwise. For this motion reactive force F23 gives a counterclockwise moment about centre A to oppose the angular impending motion hence the direction of F23 is as shown in Figure 13.4(e). The link 3 has clockwise angular velocity relative to link 4. Therefore, the line of action of force F43 will be as shown in Figure 13.4(f). The friction axis will be as shown in Figure 13.4(d). Figures 13.5(a) and (b) show the forces in equilibrium for the link 4 for the top and bottom contacts, respectively.

Force Analysis without Friction As a first step, let the friction be neglected. In the free body diagram shown in Figure 13.6(b), force P is known by knowing the gas pressure and the diameter of the piston. In case of other two forces, the line of action are known. Since friction force has been neglected, the line of action of the reaction F14 is vertical. Because there are only there forces, they have to pass through a common point (concurrent) for equilibrium to exist. Examination of the free body diagram of link 3 (Figure 13.6(c)) proves that the force F43 has line of action along AB because there are only two forces which have to be collinear. The collinear force can be in equilibrium if they are equal in magnitude and opposite in action. Therefore, the line of action of F34 (= | F43 |) is along link AB. In order to know the magnitudes and directions of F34 and F14, polygon of forces can be formed by assuming suitable scale or it can be determined analytically by using the following equations.
F34 cos = P or
F34 =
P F34 cos
F12
(b)
By knowing the direction and the magnitude of F34, F43 will be known in magnitude and direction. The direction of F43 shall be opposite to F34 and the magnitudes of these two will be equal by Newtons third law which states that the action and reaction have equal magnitude and they are opposite in the line of action. F32 will be opposite to F23 and the will be equal in magnitude. In free body diagram of link 2, force F12 will act at the point O. The forces F32 is acting at the point A (Figure 13.6(d)). It can be observed that the forces F32 and F12 cannot be collinear to keep link 2 in equilibrium. From the practical point of view it should not be so in order to resist overcoming load which is to be driven by the mechanism. Since the reciprocating mechanism converts the linear motion to rotary motion crank 2 will supply a turning moment to the load. Therefore, F12 has to be equal in magnitude to F32 and opposite in direction to form a couple which has to counteracted by the load couple C2 to keep link 2 in equilibrium. It is shown in Figure 13.7(b). The magnitude of the couple will be (F32 d) where d is the area of the couple. Force Analysis with Friction The reciprocating engine mechanism is shown in Figure 13.6(a). The slider has impending motion towards the right. Let the friction angle be . It is required to determine the couple on the link 2 for static equilibrium. Figure 13.8(a) shows free body diagram of the link 4 which is a slider. The force diagram has been drawn in Figure 13.8(b). A suitable scale may be assumed and know force P can be poltted. For other two forces F14 and F34 only directions are known. Lines can be drawn from two extremities parallel to the direction of these forces. They will meet at a point. From this triangle of forces the magnitude of F14 and F34 shall be known. The forces on the connecting rod AB shall be acting along the friction axis which has been discussed in Section 13.2.1. After knowing F34, F23 will be known which is equal and opposition to F32 knowledge of which shall provide magnitude of the couple.

Force Analysis without Friction Considering that the friction at the hinges does not exist. The free body diagrams of link 2, 3 and 4 are shown in Figures 13.9(b), (c) and (d), respectively. For given values of F2 and F3 the value of F1 is to be determined. From these free body diagrams, it becomes clear that each link has four or more than four unknowns. These four unknowns cannot be determined by using three equations which are available in a statically determinate structure. But the solution is possible by solving the problem in parts. The F34 acting on the link 4, can be resolved parallel to the link and perpendicular P T T and F34 , respectively. By taking moments about O4, F34 can be to the link F34 determined.
T T F43 = F34
Figure 13.10(b) shows link 4 and Figure 13.10(a) shows link 3 on which external T can be combined to give resultant force R force F2 is acting. The forces F2 and F43
T which passes through the point of intersection of F43 and F2. The link 3 is now P subjected to R, F43 and F23 and they have to pass through a pint which is U. F23 P passes through A and U. The magnitude of F23 and F43 can be determined by polygon of forces as shown in Figure 13.10(c). The forces acting on link 2 are F12, F32 and F1. These three forces have to pass through a point V as shown in Figure 13.10(d). Force F32 = F23. Therefore, force F32 is known and directions of F1 and F12 are also known. The triangle of forces can now be drawn and F1 can be determined.

Force Analysis with Friction Friction is present in turning pairs. By drawing friction circles, the position of the friction axis can be known. By knowing position of friction axis as explained in case of slider crank mechanism, line of action of the forces shall be known. After that this case also can be handled in the same as discussed earlier.

The connecting rod can be replaced by a dynamically equivalent system. One of the masses can be placed at the small end and the piston of the other mass can be determined by using the following equation.

where G being the centre of gravity. Point R can be joined with R to represent resultant acceleration of the connecting rod. The horizontal lines (parallel to the line of stroke O2B) can be drawn from points G and D to determine acceleration of these points. The acceleration of G and D are given by 2 O2g and 2 O2d, where being angular velocity of the crank. The length scale is same as that of the configuration diagram.

Draw the lines of action of N and Fr so that they meet at point I. From D draw a line DE parallel to dO2 to meet O2B at E. The resultant inertia force on the connecting rod passes through point E. Therefore, draw a line from E parallel to gO2 to represent line of action of resultant inertia force FC on the connecting rod. The line of action of the weight W may also be extended. Drop perpendiculars from I to the lines of action of FC and W which are I X and I Y. To determine Ft, moment of different forces may be taken and the following equation is obtained.
Ft I A = P I B + FC I X + W I Y

In order to determine Fr and N, force polygon may be drawn as shown in Figure 13.13(b) which will give their magnitudes because their directions are already known.

13.6 SUMMARY
The static force analysis can be done by drawing free body diagrams of different links and then by drawing force polygons or analytically unknown forces can be determined. The assumption made in static force analysis that the mass of connecting rod or couple is neglected. The mass of the crank is also neglected. Sometimes it is better to represent a moving link by a two mass system which is equivalent dynamically to the link concerned. The effect of the friction may be considered or it may be neglected. Friction acts at the sliding pair and the turning pairs. The friction force at the sliding pair may be considered along with the gas force. The compression or tension force in the connecting rod or coupler does not pass through the centres of hinges but acts along the friction axis which is tangential to the friction circles at the hinges. If mass of different links is considered, it results in dead loads and the inertia forces on the links. The magnitude of inertia force is given by the product of mass and acceleration having its direction opposite to the direction of acceleration. Therefore, accelerations are to be determined before dynamic analysis of a mechanism. The dynamic analysis may be done graphically or analytically.
