    Theory of Machines - I, Assignment 1 due on 22.08.

    19
    Semester III, B. Tech., 2018-22

    Instructor: Dr. B Pattabhi Ramaiah


    School of Mechanical Sciences,
    Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, India

    Instructions:
    (i). Solve all the problems. (ii). Use graphical method with appropriate scale. (iii). Use 1” = 25 mm.

    1. (a) A pair of bolt cutters is shown in Fig. 1(a). Draw a kinematic diagram of the mechanism, choosing the
    lower handle as the frame. The end of the upper handle and the cutting surface of the jaws should be
    identified as points of interest.
    (b) A foot pump that can be used to fill bike tires, toys, and so forth is shown in Fig. 1(b). Draw a kinematic
    diagram of the pump mechanism. The foot pad should be identified as a point of interest.

    2. A rock-crushing mechanism is shown in Fig. 2. Graphically position the links for the configuration shown.
    Then reposition the links as the crank is rotated by 30◦ clockwise. (i) Determine the resulting angular
    displacement of the crushing ram. (ii) Also, determine the maximum angular displacement (throw) of the
    ram.

    3. Discuss all possible inversions of a four bar mechanism.


    4. A mechanism that extends reels of cable from a delivery truck is illustrated inn Fig. 3(a). It is operated by a
    hydraulic cylinder at A. At this instant, the cylinder retracts at a rate of 5 mm/s. Determine the velocity of
    the top joint, point E.
    5. A two-cylinder compressor mechanism is shown in Fig. 3(b). (i) For the configuration shown, use the
    relative velocity method to graphically determine the linear velocity of both pistons as the 1.5-in. crank is
    driven clockwise at 1775 rpm. (ii) Graphically determine the location of all the instantaneous centers.
    6. A rudder mechanism used to steer ships is shown in Fig. 4(a). At the instant shown, the actuator is being
    extended at a constant rate of 0.1 m/s. (i) Graphically determine the rotational velocity and acceleration of

    the rudder assembly. (ii) When the actuator is extending at a rate of 0.1 m/s and decelerating at a rate of
    0.3 m/s2 , graphically determine the rotational velocity and acceleration of the rudder assembly.
    7. The 12-in. crank on an aircraft landing gear actuation mechanism shown in Fig. 4(b), rotates counter-
    clockwise at a constant rate of 20 rpm. (i) At the instant shown, use the relative acceleration method to
    graphically determine the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the wheel assembly. (ii) When the
    crank rotates counterclockwise at 12 rpm and accelerates at 3 rad/s2 , using the relative acceleration method
    graphically determine the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the wheel assembly.
    8. In the mechanism shown in Fig. 5, the crank OA rotates at 20 RPM anticlockwise and transfers motion to
    the sliding blocks B and D. The dimensions of links: OA = 300 mm; AB = 1200 mm; BC = 450 mm and CD
    = 450 mm. For the given configuration, estimate: (i) velocities of sliding at B and D, (ii) angular velocity of
    CD, (iii) linear acceleration of D and (iv) angular acceleration of CD.
