Mechanism Synthesis, Graphical - Lect1

1. Mechanism synthesis involves determining the appropriate type, number of links, and dimensions of a mechanism to achieve a specified motion or force. 2. Graphical synthesis methods provide a quick way to design mechanisms but parameters cannot be easily adjusted, while analytical methods allow for automatic computation and easy adjustment of parameters. 3. A quick-return mechanism is designed so the return stroke takes less time than the advance stroke through strategic placement of links and pivots. The time ratio of the two strokes can be calculated.

Synthesis of linkages Graphical Method

Mechanism Synthesis
Design or creation of a mechanism to obtain a specified motion or force. Type Synthesis Given the required performance, what type of mechanism is suitable? Linkages, gears, cam and follower, belt and pulley and chain and sprocket. Number Synthesis How many links should the mechanism have? How many degrees of freedom are desired? Dimensional Synthesis Deals with determining the length of all links, gear diameter, cam profile.

Mechanism Synthesis
Function Generation, Path Generation, Body Guidance Function Generation- Design requirement is that of causing
out put member to rotate, oscillate, or reciprocate according to a specified function of time or function of the input motion.

Path Generation- Refers to a problem in which a coupler


point is to generate a path having prescribed shape. i.e. circular arc, elliptical, or straight line

Body Guidance- Deals with moving an object from one


position to another. May be simple translation or combination of translation and rotation. i.e. Moving Bulldozer blades.

Mechanism Synthesis
Dimensional and position Synthesis

Graphical Methods provide the designer with


a quick straightforward method but parameters cannot easily be manipulated to create new solutions.

Analytical Methods this approach is suitable


for automatic computation. Once a mechanism is modeled and coded for computer, parameters are easily manipulated to create new designs.
