Abstract There are several kinds of mechanisms that will be studied during the Engineering Fundamental Laboratory (ME-372) lectures and many experiments will illustrate these mechanisms. The main objective of these experiments is to learn more about each type of mechanisms, motion function and properties. The data obtained in the laboratory have been analyzed using mathematical equations and graphical methods. These data will represent the motion, velocity and acceleration of each type of mechanism. Finally, the objectives mentioned above are followed and fully achieved.
There are two types of mechanisms that will be studied. Firstly, Reciprocating Motion Mechanisms which included Slider Crank Mechanism and Whitworth Quick Return Motion Mechanism. The second type is called Linkage Mechanisms which included Four Bar Linkage Mechanism and Geneva Stop Mechanism.
Chapter 1
1. Experimental Background:
1. a) Four Bar Linkage:
Mechanical linkages are a series of rigid links connected with joints to form a closed chain. Each link will have two or more joints, and the joints will have various degrees of freedom to allow motion between the links. A linkage is called a mechanism if two or more links are movable with respect to a fixed link. Mechanical linkages are usually designed to take an input and produce a different output, altering the motion, velocity, acceleration, and applying mechanical advantage.
The Four Bar-Linkage is the simplest possible closed-loop mechanism, and has numerous uses in industry and for simple devices found in automobiles, toys, etc. The device gets its name from its four distinct links (or bars), as shown in Figure.1. Link 1 is the ground link (sometimes called the frame or fixed link), and is assumed to be motionless. Links 2 and 4 each rotate relative to the ground link about fixed pivots (A0 and B0). Link 3 is called the coupler link, and is the only link that can trace paths of arbitrary shape (because it is not rotating about a fixed pivot).
Figure.1.1
Usually one of the "grounded links" (link 2 or 4) serves as the input link, which is the link which may either be turned by hand, or perhaps driven by an electric motor or a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. If link 2 is the input link, then link 4 is called the follower link, because its rotation merely follows the motion as determined by the input and coupler link motion. If link 2 is the input link and its possible range of motion is unlimited, it is called a crank, and the linkage is called a crank-rocker. Crank-rockers are very useful because the input link can be rotated continuously while a point on its coupler traces a closed complex curve.
Grashof's law is applied to pinned linkages and states; the sum of the shortest and longest link of a planar four bar linkage cannot be greater than the sum of remaining two linkages if there is to be continuous relative motion between the links. Figure.2. shows the possible types of pinned, four-bar linkages, where our experiment was done on the Crank-rocker one.Figure.1.2
1. b) The Geneva Stop:
The Geneva mechanism is a timing device. It is used in many counting instruments and in other applications where an intermittent rotary motion is required. Essentially, the Geneva mechanism consists of a rotating disk with a pin and another rotating disk with slots (usually four) into which the pin slides as shown in Figure.3.Figure.1.3
The Geneva mechanism was originally invented by a watch maker. The watch maker only put a limited number of slots in one of the rotating disks so that the system could only go through so many rotations. This prevented the spring on the watch from being wound too tight, thus giving the mechanism its other name, the Geneva Stop. The Geneva Stop was incorporated into many of the first film projectors used in theaters.
In Optimum Design of Mechanical Elements, the Geneva mechanism is used to provide an intermittent motion of the conveyor belt of a "film recording marching." There are several weak points in the Geneva mechanism. For instance, for each rotation of the Geneva (slotted) gear the drive shaft must make one complete rotation. Thus for very high speeds, the drive shaft may start to vibrate. Another problem is wear, which is centralized at the drive pin. Finally, the designer has no control over the acceleration the Geneva mechanism will produce. Also, the Geneva mechanism will always go through a small backlash, which stops the slotted gear. This backlash prevents controlled exact motion.
An interesting example of intermittent gearing is the Geneva Wheel shown in Figure 2. In this case the driven wheel, B, makes one fourth of turn for one turn of the driver, A the pin, a, working in the slots. b, causing the motion of B. The circular portion of the driver, coming in contact with the corresponding hollow circular parts of the driven wheel, retains it in position when the pin or tooth a is out of action. The wheel A is cut away near the pin a as shown, to provide clearance for wheel B in its motion.
Figure.1.4
If one of the slots is closed, A can only move through part of the revolution in either direction before pin a strikes the closed slot and thus stops the motion. The device in this modified from was used in watches, music boxes, etc., to prevent over winding. From this application it received the name Geneva Stop. Arranged as a stop, wheel A is secured to the spring shaft, and B turns on the axis of the spring barrel. The number of slots or interval units in B depends upon the desired number of turns for the spring shaft.
1. c) The Whitworth Quick Return:
A quick return mechanism such as the one seen opposite is used where there is a need to convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion. As the disc rotates the black slide moves forwards and backwards. Many machines have this type of mechanism and in college's workshop the best example is the shaping machine.
Figure.1.5
The shaping machine is used to machine flat metal surfaces especially where a large amount of metal has to be removed. Other machines such as milling machines are much more expensive and are more suited to removing smaller amounts of metal, very accurately. The reciprocating motion of the mechanism inside the shaping machine can be seen in the diagram. As the disc rotates the top of the machine moves forwards and backwards, pushing a cutting tool. The cutting tool removes the metal from work which is carefully bolted down.
Figure.1.6
1. d) The Slider Crank:A slider-crank mechanism is a four-bar linkage with 3 revolute joints and one prismatic joint. This mechanism converts rotary motion into reciprocating linear motion, or vice versa. The components of a slider-crank are shown in the figure below. Notice that the ground link is the base of the machine that connects the axis of rotation of the crank with the surface upon which the slider moves.
Figure.1.8
This mechanism is composed of three important parts; the crank which is the rotating disc, the slider which slides inside the tube and the connecting rod which joins the parts together. As the slider moves to the right the connecting rod pushes the wheel round for the first 180 degrees of wheel rotation. When the slider begins to move back into the tube, the connecting rod pulls the wheelround to complete the rotation. One of the best examples of a crank and slider mechanism is a steam train. Steam pressure powers the slider mechanism as the connecting rod pushes and pulls the wheel round. The cylinder of an internal combustion engine is another example of a crank and slider mechanism.

b) Geneva Mechanism:
We fit the curve to the sixth order polynomial more accurate than fifth order .
Linear model Polynomial of sixth order :y = 3E-12x6 - 4E-09x5 + 2E-06x4 - 0.0004x3 + 0.0323x2 - 0.5152x + 3.0297
c) Whitworth Quick-Return mechanism:
Selecting a sixth order polynomial regression for the displacement data yields the following equation:
y = -5E-13x6 + 7E-10x5 - 3E-07x4 + 8E-05x3 - 0.0091x2 + 0.3275x + 8.7242
Differentiating the above equation gives the following velocity equation:
= -5E-21x5 + 3E-16x4 - 6E-12x3 + 7E-08x2 - 0.0003x + 0.3275
Differentiating the above equation gives the following acceleration equation:
= 1E-15x4 - 2E-11x3 + 1E-07x2 + 4E-11x - 0.0182
d) Slider crank mechanism:
Selecting a sixth order polynomial regression for the displacement data yields the following equation:
y = 3E-13x6 - 4E-10x5 + 2E-07x4 - 4E-05x3 + 0.0025x2 + 0.0153x + 9.4024
Differentiating the above equation gives the following velocity equation:
y' = 3E-21x5 - 2E-16x4 + 4E-12x3 - 4E-08x2 + 9E-05x + 0.0153
Differentiating the above equation gives the following acceleration equation:y'' = 8E-19x4 - 4E-14x3 + 7E-10x2 - 4E-06x + 0.005

4.4) Discussion:
a) Four Bar Linkage:
Here four different cases were analyzed, and in each case the displacement behavior is being studied as follows: ()
Case I - Maximum coupler length and maximum output length (Fig.4.1):As shown from table (4.2) & figure (4.1), there are small difference between the fit curve and the data points. The curve motion of the output angles vs. input angle take shape of sinusoidal wave. The maximum output angle=170o at the beginning and the end of motion. The minimum output angle= 137o at input angle= 135o. That means link (4) oscillates between 170o and 137o as link (2) rotates one complete revolution. It can be seen from (Fig.4.1) that the out output angle changes rapidly with the input angle when reaching their extreme values, whereas the response of the output angle varies uniformly with the input angle between its extreme values.
Case II - Maximum coupler length and minimum output length (Fig.4.2):In (Fig.4.2), the output angle is first set to be equal to 152 o, and then it reaches a minimum value of 98 o at an input angle of 105o. When the input angle is equal to 285, the output angle reaches a maximum value of 163o, and then it decreases back again to a value of 152o at an input angle of 360o. In this case, it can be seen from (Fig.4.4) that the amplitude of oscillation is equal 3.5 degrees. This illustrates the behavior of the four bar linkage when the length of the output link is minimum, in which case it oscillates with a constant amplitude.
b) Geneva Mechanism:
For the Geneva mechanism, the output angle was plotted against the input angle (Fig.4.3). The output angle increases with the increase of the input angle until it a constant value of 59o starting from an input angle of 15o. This behavior illustrates the intermitted motion of the Geneva mechanism. The displacement function was obtained by a sixth order polynomial regression.
c) Whitworth Quick-Return mechanism:
For the Whitworth Quick-Return mechanism, the displacement versus the crank angle was plotted (Fig.4.4). The displacement starts with a value of 9.5 mm, and then it goes up to reach a value of 11.900 mm at a crank angle of 45 o. After that, the displacement decreases in a uniform manner to reach value (0.800 mm) at the end angle equal 195 o . As expected form the above analysis, the sudden drop in the displacement is due to the quick-return nature of the Whitworth mechanism.In a similar way of the slider crank , The velocity and acceleration functions were obtained and plotted against the crank angle. In (Fig.4.5 and Fig.4.6), the velocity is initially at a value of 0.328 mm/s, it then decreases rapidly to reach a minimum value of 0.222 cm/s at a crank angle of 360 o. For the acceleration diagram (Fig.4.6), the acceleration stars with a value of -0.018 mm/s2, and it increases to a value of 0.0 mm/s2 at a crank angle of 360 o.
d) Slider crank mechanism:
In the analysis of the slider crank mechanism, first the displacement diagram (Fig.4.7) and (Fig.4.10) was obtained by plotting the displacement of the slider versus the crank angle. But one of them is obtained practically and the other one obtained theoretically . In the practical diagram, the displacement curve was found by fitting the displacement data with a sixth order polynomial. The initial value is 10 mm when the crank angle is set at 0, and increases to reach a maximum value of 14.300 mm when the crank angle reaches 75o. The displacement curve then decreases back to its initial value when the crank angle is at 165o. At a crank angle of 225o, the displacement reaches a minimum value of 5.500 mm, and increases back again to reach the initial value (10 mm) when the crank angle is at 360 o.The velocity was determined by differentiating the displacement function, and the velocity diagram was obtained by plotting the velocity against the crank angle (Fig.4.11). The velocity starts with a value of 0.017 mm/s when the crank angle is at 0, and then reaches a maximum value of 0.42 mm/s at a crank angle of 360o.To get the acceleration function, the velocity function was differentiated; the obtained function was then plotted against the crank angle as shown in (Fig.4.12). Initially the acceleration has a value of 0.005 mm/s2, this value decreases to its minimum value .004 mm/s2) when the crank angle is equal to 360o. 4.6 Sources of error :a.
