INTRODUCTION Flashcards
is design on the basis of
motion requirements in contrast to design on the basis of strength
requirements.
Kinematic design
rotates at a constant angular velocity,
The cam
moves
up and down.
follower
On the upward motion
the follower is driven by the cam,
on the return motion
it is driven by the action
of gravity or of a spring.
where
two cams are used per cylinder to operate the intake and exhaust valves,
automotive engine
are used in many applications to transmit motion from one shaft to another with a constant angular velocity ratio.
Gears
consists of two or more gears in series. Its application is to increase or decrease the speed or torque of the output shaft.
A Gear train
What is a good example of a gear train?
automobile transmission where
three speeds forward and one in reverse arc obtained by shifting two gears.
is a combination of rigid or resistant bodies so formed and connected that they move upon each
other with definite relative motion .
mechanism
What is an example of mechanism?
crank, connecting rod, and piston of an internal-
combustion engine
is a mechanism or collection of mechanisms which transmit force from the source of power to the
resistance to be overcome.
machine
What is an exampe of a machine?
internal-combustion engine.
When a rigid body so moves that the position of each straight
line of the body is parallel to all of its other positions,
translation.
All points of the body move in
parallel straight line paths.
Rectilinear translation.
The paths of the points arc identical
curves parallel to a fixed plane.
Curvilinear translation.
If each point of a rigid body having plane motion remains at a constant distance from a fixed axis that is perpendicular to
the plane of motion,
body has motion of rotation.
If the body rotates back and forth through a given angle, it is said to
oscillate.
When a rigid body moves so that each point of the body bas motion of
rotation about a fixed axis and at the same time has translation parallel to
the axis,
helical motion.
When a rigid body moves so that each point of the body has
motion about a fixed point while remaining at a constant
distance from it,
Spherical motion
A body moving with rotation about three nonparallel axes and
translation in three independent directions
spatial motion.
When the parts of a mechanism have passed through all the possible positions they can assume after starting from
some simultaneous set of relative positions and have returned to their original relative Positions,
cycle
The time required for a cycle of motion
period.
The simultaneous relative positions of a mechanism at a given instant during a cycle
phase.
