[tis possible to determine the driving force or torque required either to hold the mechanism in a stationary configuration or to generate a specified motion. In addition, itera! loads in links, and forces across kinematic pairs, may be determined. “To make a dynamic analysis, the mechanism will be considered to be in a state of dynamic equilibsium. Thus, similar procedures may be employed for static and dynamic analyses. fa mechanism is in static ot dynamic equilibrium, every link within the mechanism _must also be in equilibrium. Sections 8.2 and 8.3 describe two basic cases for which links of a mechanism are in equilibrium. These basic cases are subsequently used in graphical force analyses of mechanical systems. 8.2 TWO-FORCE MEMBER 306, Alin acted on by only two forees is known as a vorforce member. In oer fora lnk 0 {qualify asa two-force member, no moments can be applied. For instance, Figure 8.(@) itusates a four-bar mechanism in which moments Mo, and Mo, ae applied from the base link to links 2 and 4, respectively. Therefore, these two links 40 not qualify as two-foree sembers. However, neglecting gravity, neta and frietion in the turing pairs at A and B, Tink 3 con only be subjected to forces applied through the turning pairs. A free body dir gram of the link is shown in Figure 8.1(0). Is subjected to forces Fy and F. In ths fig- tre the diectons and magnitudes ofthese forces have been arbitrarily depicted, However in order for link 3 to remaia in equilibrium the sum ofthe applied forces and sum ofthe8.3 Three-Force Member 307 @ » Figure 8.1 Twe-force member analysis, applied moments must be zero. The sum of the applied forces is 1tF,=0 21) that is, the two applied forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Fig- ue B.1() illustrates such a condition. However, as shown, the two forees in Figure 8.1(¢) provide a couple of magnitude Fd, where dis the perpendicular distance between the lines, ‘of action, For the net moment to be 2er0, the distance d must be zero; thus, the two forces ‘must be collinear. Figure 8.1(d) shows the case where the two forces are applied such that the net force and the moment acting on the link are zero. In summary, for a member to be in equilibrium when acted on by two forces, the two forees must be equal in magnitude, collinear, and opposite in direction, 8.3 THREE-FORCE MEMBER Alink acted on by ony thee foroes is known as a three:force member. No moments can be applied, Consider the mechanism shown in Figure 8.2(a). Links 2 and 4 do not quatify as threeforce members because moments are applied to them. However, negleting gravity inertia, and friction inthe kinematic pairs, link 3 is subjected to only three frees, A fee body diagram of the lnk is shown in Figure 6.2(0). One of the forces, Fs, is assumed known and is applied through point C. The direction and magnitude of Fy and Fa have
