Theory:
Following is the theory of this experiment:-
1. Machine
A machine is a combination of resistant bodies so arranged that by their means the
mechanical forces of nature can be compelled to do work accompanied by certain determinate
motions.
2. Mechanism
It is the assemblage of resistant bodies connected by movable joints to form a closed
kinematic chain with one link fixed and having the purpose of transmitting motion.
3. Kinematic Link
Each part of a machine, which moves relative to some other part, is known as a
kinematic link (or simply link) or element. A link may consist of several parts, which are rigidly
fastened together, so that they do not move relative to one another.
4. Types of Links
In order to transmit motion, the driver and the follower may be connected by the
following three types of links:
7. Joint
A joint is a connection between two or more links (at their nodes), which allows some
motion, or potential motion, between the connected links.
8. Types of Joints in a Chain
The following types of joints are usually found in a chain:-
a) Binary Joint
When two links are joined at the same connection, the joint is known as binary joint.
For example, a chain as shown in below figure, has four links and four binary joins at A, B, C
and D.
b) Ternary Joint
When three links are joined at the same connection, the joint is known as ternary joint.
It is equivalent to two binary joints as one of the three links joined carry the pin for the other
two links. For example, a chain, as shown in below figure, has six links. It has three binary
joints at A, B and D and two ternary joints at C and E. Since one ternary joint is equivalent to
two binary joints, therefore equivalent binary joints in a chain, as shown in below figure, are 3
+ 2 × 2 = 7.
which oscillates is known as rocker or lever (link 4). And the link connecting these two is
known as coupler (link 3). Link 1 is the frame.
ram which carries the tool and reciprocates along the line of stroke R1R2. The line of stroke of
the ram (i.e. R1R2) is perpendicular to AC produced.
Procedure:
1. Adjust the reading on crank on zero position.
2. Rotate the crank and record readings from circular scale and linear scale by marking 30o
intervals round the locus of A starting from the inner dead center.
3. Moving A successively 30o anticlockwise to the 360o crank angle, mark and number the
corresponding positions of B and P.
4. Here point B is the starting point of slider, point P is the mid-point of the connecting rod,
and point A is the center point where the big end bearing is attached.
5. Draw displacement diagram which is a graph between these two sets of readings with circular
scale readings on X-axis and linear scale readings on Y-axis.
6. Note down the motion of points B, P and A. This gives a linear (oscillating) motion of point
B, elliptical motion of point P and circular motion of point A.
7. Mark the positions of all the points i.e. the starting, mid and end positions and centers of the
geometrical figures formed.
8. With help of all these positions draw the loci of all the points A, B & P geometrically.
