Assignment 1

This document contains instructions and examples for determining the mobility, Grashof condition, and Barker classification of mechanisms. It includes 11 problems where the reader is asked to analyze diagrams of linkages and mechanisms by identifying the number of links and joints and calculating the degrees of freedom. It also includes problems analyzing the motion of specific linkages when components are shortened or moved.

2. Number synthesis
Derive all the possible link combinations for 2-DOF, including sets
up to 8 links, and link orders up to and including hexagonal links.
For simplicity assume that the links will be connected with only
single, full rotating joints (Pin connecting only two joints).
3. Linkage transformation (2.13)
Use linkage transformation to create a 1 D.O.F. mechanism with
two sliding full joints from stephenson’s sixbar linkage as shown
in the figure below.
4. Grashof condition and Barker classification
The device in the figure below is an oil well pump. Link number is
shown on the figure.
L1=4m; L2=1m; L3=3.5m and L4=3m
Draw the kinematic diagram, and determine the Grashod condition
and the Barker classification
5. Grashof condition and Barker classification (2.32)
Find the mobility, the Grashof condition, and the Barker
classifications of the mechanism in the figure below.
6. Grashof condition and Barker classification
Find the mobility, the Grashof condition, and the Barker
classifications of the mechanism in the figure below.
7. Question
The figure below depicts a production transfer machine that moves
clutch housings from one station to another.

a) Compute the mobility of this mechanism. Put the links’ numbers


on the figure
b) Draw the kinematic sketch of this mechanism
c) Carefully examine the configuration of the components in the
mechanism, then answer by True or False the examinations in the
following table;
 Bar B and table A are restricted to horizontal translation
 As the air cylinder L is shortened the bar B moves toward
the right
 As the air cylinder L is shortened the point K moves to
the left and upward
 As the air cylinder L is shortened the point F moves
upward
 As the air cylinder L is shortened the link C moves to the
left and rotates anticlockwise
 The purpose of the mechanism is to move table A from
left to right and the bottom linkage assists to support load
placed on table A
