Solution to Problem 1.

Part I. (i) 4 points. There are 6 links in the mechanism and the joint types are as shown in Figure 1(a).

Figure 1(a). Joint Types of the Mechanism.

The Kutzbach mobility criterion for a planar mechanism can be written as

1 2M 3(n 1) 2J 1J= − − − (1)

For this mechanism, the number of links, the number of lower pairs (or 1J joints), and the number of higher pairs (or 2J joints), respectively, are

1 2n 6, J 7, and J 0= = = (2)

Substituting Equation (2) into Equation (1), the mobility of the mechanism is

M 3(6 1) 2(7) 0= − − − (3a) that is

M 15 14 0 1= − − = (3b)

This is the correct answer for this mechanism, that is, for a single input there is a unique output.

Freudenstein's Equation can be written as

1 4 1 2 4 2A 2 R R cos 2 R R cosθ θ= − (4a)

1 4 2 4B 2 R R sin 2 R R sin1 2= −θ θ (4b) and

2 2 2 2C R R R R 2 R R cos ( )3 1 2 4 1 2 1 2= − − − + −θ θ (4c)

Substituting the known data into Equations (4) gives

2B 2 15 10 sin 0 2 6 10 sin 120 103.92 cm= × × × − × × × = − (5b) and

2 22 2 2C 10 15 6 10 2 x 15 x 6 cos (0 120 ) 351 cm= − − − + − = − (5c)

Substituting Equations (5) into Equation (3) gives

24 4360 cos 103.92 sin 351 cmθ θ+ − = − (6)

To determine the output angle we can write this transcendental equation as an algebraic equation, (namely, a quadratic equation). The procedure is to use the tangent of the half-angle relationship; i.e.,

4Z tan ( )2θ= (7a)

which gives

Substituting Equations (7b) into Equation (3), and rearranging, gives

The two roots to this quadratic equation are

1 2Z 3.025 and Z 26.118= + = − (10b)

Writing Equation (7a) as

I 14 12 tan Zθ −= and II 1

4 22 tan Zθ −= (11)

Then substituting Equations (10b) into Equations (11) gives

I 14 2 tan 3.025θ −= and II 1

4 2 tan 26.118θ −= − (12)

Therefore, the two possible answers for the angular position of link 4 are

143.414θ = and 175.614θ = − (13)

The correct answer for the angular position of link 4, for the given open configuration shown in Figure 1(b), is

(ii) 6 points. The X and Y components of the VLE, see Eq. (1), are

2 2 23 23 34 34 1 1R cos R cos R cos R cos 0θ + θ + θ − θ = (4a) and

2 2 23 23 34 34 1 1R sin R sin R sin R sin 0θ + θ + θ − θ = (4b)

Differentiating Equations (4) with respect to the input position 2θ gives

2 2 23 23 23 23 34 34 34 34R sin R sin cos R R sin cos R 0′ ′− θ − θ + θ − θ + θ = (5a) and

2 2 23 23 23 23 34 34 34 34R cos R cos sin R R cos sin R 0′ ′θ + θ + θ + θ + θ = (5b)

Then writing Equations (5) in matrix form gives

Therefore, the determinant of the coefficient matrix is

(iii) 7 Points. The angular velocity of link 3 can be written as

Substituting Equation (10) into Equation (11), the angular velocity of link 3 is

The negative sign indicates that link 3 is rotating clockwise. The angular velocity of link 4 can be written as

4 4 2′ω = θ ω (13)

Differentiating Equation (3) with respect to the input position, and using Equation (11) gives

Then substituting Equation (14) into Equation (13) gives

4 21 5 rad / sω = + ω = − (15)

The negative sign indicates that link 4 is rotating clockwise. (iv) 7 Points. The relative velocity between point C fixed in link 3 and point B fixed in link 2 can be written as

CB 23 2V R′= ω (16)

The relative velocity between point C fixed in link 3 and point B fixed in link 2 is directed along the line BC in the direction from C to B.

Substituting Equation (8) and the input angular velocity into Equation (16) gives

CBV ( 5 cm / rad)( 5 rad / s) 25 cm / s= + − = − (17)

The positive sign indicates that point C is moving towards point B, that is, the distance BC is decreasing (the angle of the velocity vector is inclined at 135 degrees clockwise to the horizontal axis).

Solution to Problem 3. (i) and (ii) 15 Points. This mechanism has six links, therefore, the total number of instant centers is

( 1) 6 x 5 152 2

n nN −= = = (1)

There are 7 primary instant centers; namely,

I12, I23, I34, I14, I35, I56, and I16 (2)

Therefore, there are 8 secondary instant centers; namely,

I13, I15, I24, I25, I26, I36, I45, and I46 (3)

The 8 secondary instant centers can be obtained as follows: (i) The point of intersection of the line through I12I23 and the line through I14I34 is the instant center I13. (ii) The point of intersection of the line through I13I35 and the line through I16I56 is the instant center I15. (iii) The point of intersection of the line through I12I14 and the line through I23I34 is the instant center I24. (iv) The point of intersection of the line through I12I15 and the line through I23I35 is the instant center I25. (v) The point of intersection of the line through I25I56 and the line through I12I16 is the instant center I26. (vi) The point of intersection of the line through I35I56 and the line through I13I16 is the instant center I36. (vii) The point of intersection of the line through I14I15 and the line through I34I35 is the instant center I45. (viii) The point of intersection of the line through I14I16 and the line through I45I56 is the instant center I46.

The procedure to locate these 8 secondary instant centers is indicated on the Kennedy circle below, see Figure 3(a).

32.55 cm 0.324 rad/rad7.88 cm

θ ′ = = (4b)

Note that the correct sign the first-order kinematic coefficient of link 3 is negative because the relative instant center 23I lies between the two absolute instant centers 12I and 13I , that is

From measuring figure, 12 24 1.70 cm,I I = therefore, the first-order kinematic coefficient of link 4 is

4 1.70 cmR′ = (5b)

Note that the correct sign is negative because link 4 will move to the left for a positive change in the input (that is, the distance from O2 to point B is decreasing for a positive change in the input). Therefore, the first-order kinematic coefficient of link 4 is

4 1.70 cmR′ = − (5c)

The negative sign implies that the direction of the angular velocity of link 3 is clockwise, see Fig. 3(c). The angular velocity of link 5 can be written as

5 5 2 ( 0.805 rad rad)( 7 rad sec) 5.635 rad secω θ ω′= = − + = − (9)

The negative sign implies that the direction of the angular velocity of link 5 is clockwise, see Fig. 3(c). Check. The relative instant center 35I does not lie between the two absolute instant centers 13I and 15 ,I therefore, the angular velocity of link 5 is in the same direction as the angular velocity of link 3.

The angular velocity of link 6 can be written as

6 6 2 ( 0.206 rad rad)( 7 rad sec) 1.442 rad secω θ ω′= = − + = − (10)

Check. The relative instant center 26I lies between the two absolute instant centers 12I and 16.I Therefore, the angular velocity of link 6 is in the opposite direction to the angular velocity of link 2, that is, clockwise. (v) 2 Points. The velocity of point C, fixed in link 3, can be written as

3C 3 13V (I C)= ω (11)

The distance 13I C is measured as 13 5.06 cm.I C = Therefore, the velocity of point C fixed in link 3 is

3CV (2.268 rad / s)(5.06 cm) 11.48 cm / s= = (12)

The direction of the velocity of point C is perpendicular to the line 13 ,I C that is, 130 degrees to the horizontal as shown in Figure 3(c). Check: The velocity of point C, fixed in link 5, can be written as

The distance 15I C is measured as 15 2.04 cm.I C = Therefore, the velocity of point C, fixed in link 5, is

CV (5.635 rad / s)(2.04 cm) 11.50 cm / s= = (14)

The direction of the velocity of point C is perpendicular to the line 15I C as shown in Figure 3(c). The velocity of point B, fixed in link 4, can be written as

The direction of the velocity of point B is along the X-axis as shown in Figure 3(c). Check: The velocity of point B, fixed in link 4 can be written as

(iv) 5 Points. The angular velocity of link 3 can be written as

3 3 2R′ω = θ (12)

Note that the length of the vector 2R is decreasing as the input link 2 is moving to the right (the velocity of link 2 is given to the right). Therefore, the time rate of change in the length of this vector is

2 2 2 cm/sR V= − = − (13)

Substituting Eq. (9) and Eq. (13) into Eq. (12), the angular velocity of link 3 is

3 ( 0.049 rad/cm)( 2 cm/s) 0.098 rad / sω = + − = − (14)

The negative sign indicates that link 3 is indeed rotating clockwise, that is, the angular velocity of link 3 is clockwise.

The angular velocity of link 4 can be written as

4 4 2R′ω = θ (15)

Substituting Eq. (11) and Eq. (13) into Eq. (15), the angular velocity of link 4 is

4 ( 0.259 rad/cm)( 2 cm/s) 0.518 rad / sω = + − = − (16)

The negative sign means that link 4 is rotating clockwise. Aside. The angular velocity of link 9 can be written as

9 9 2R′ω = θ (17)

Substituting Eq. (8) and Eq. (13) into Eq. (17), the angular velocity of link 9 is

9 ( 0.074 rad/cm)( 2 cm/s) 0.148 rad / sω = + − = − (18)

The negative sign means that link 9 (that is, the arm) is rotating clockwise, that is, the angular velocity of link 9 is clockwise
