Instructions
Use
this
page
as
a
cover
page.
Provide
derivations
for
the
equations
and
an
excel
spreadsheet
calculation
for
the
following
problem.
I.
Inverted
Slider
Crank
Linkage
1. Analyze
the
Inverted
Slider
-‐
Crank
linkage
used
in
the
swing
arm
suspension
shown
in
Figure
1
and
Figure
2.
Use
the
dimensions
bx
=
-‐11”,
by
=
15”,
a
=
25”.
(a) Derive
the
constraint
equation
for
the
inverted
slider
crank.
Solve
for
the
slide
s
as
a
function
of
the
input
crank
angle
θ.
Using
the
excel
spreadsheet
provided,
calculate
the
values
of
s1
for
θ1
=
165°
through
s2
for
θ2
=
195°
for
every
5°
(i.e.
6
increments)
and
plot
the
results.
(b) Derive
the
loop
equations
and
compute
the
coupler
angle
φ
as
a
function
of
the
crank
angle
θ.
Using
excel
spreadsheet
provided,
calculate
the
values
of
φ1
for
θ1
=
165°
through
φ2
for
θ2
=
195°
for
every
5°
(i.e.
6
increments)
and
plot
the
results.

2. Velocity
Analysis
of
a
Slider-‐Crank
(a) Derive
the
velocity
loop
equations
and
compute
the
slider
velocities
φ˙ and
s˙ as
a
function
of
θ,
φ,
a,
s,
.
Assuming
a
constant
velocity
of
=1
rad/s
for
link
OA,
use
the
excel
format
provided
to
calculate
the
values
of
φ˙ and s˙
€
for
θ1
=
165°
through
θ2
=
195°
for
every
5°
(i.e.
6
increments)
and
plot
the
€
results.

3. Mechanical
Advantage
for
the
Inverted
Slider-‐Crank
Derive
the
formula
for
the
mechanical
advantage
of
the
inverted
slider-‐crank
using
“power
in
equals
power
out”.

Read
Chapter
1
from
the
Theory
of
Machines
and
Mechanisms
book
(pg.
5
–
pg.40).
