Exercise: 1
The mechanism shown in Figure 1 consists of two drums, 1 and 2, with moments of
inertia/! = 0.01 kg m2 and I2 = 0.045 kg m2, respectively. The drums are connected by
a gear transmission with a ratio of 1:3 so that drum 1 rotates faster than drum 2. Drum
1, with a radius R = 0.05 m, is driven by a spring via a rope, while drum 2 is braked by
torque Tr = 5 Nm. The stiffness of the spring c - 500 N/m. The drum was nitially
rotated for one revolution, stretching the spring; thereafter, at a particular time, the
system was freed. Calculate the time needed by the drum 1 to complete 0.5 of
a revolution under the influence of the spring overcoming the torque Tr.
FIGURE 1
Solution:
The first step is to reduce the given mechanism to a single-mass system. The resistance
torque Tr on drum 1, obviously, varies in inverse proportion to the ratio i = 1:3.
Thus,
The procedure of reducing inertia I2 of drum 2 to the axes of drum 1 requires
calculation of the common kinetic energy of the mechanism, which is
where 1 and 2 are the angular velocities of drums 1 and 2, respectively. (The inertia
of the gears and the shafts is neglected.) The kinetic energy of the reduced system with
moment of inertia / is:
Thus,
and
where x is the displacement of point K on the rope (see Figure 1). Substituting the
numerical data into (a) we obtain
or
and
The partial solution x2, as follows from (a), is sought in the form of a constant X:
Thus
From the initial conditions given in the formulation of the problem, it follows that for
time t = 0, the spring is stretched for x0 = 2R = 2 0.05 = 0.314 m, while the speed
JCG = 0. Thus, from (b) we derive
To answer the question formulated in the problem, we find t from (d), substituting the
value X' (location of the point K after the rope had been rewound half a perimeter
around drum 1). Obviously,

Exercise: 2
FIGURE 2
Solution:
The solution is divided into two stages: stage a) the blade's movement from the initial
point until it comes into contact with the wire (here we neglect the frictional resistance),
and stage b) the cutting of the wire.
Stage a)
Thus,
which means that the weight mg of the blade aids its downward motion. From (a) we
obtain
Where
where is the natural frequency of the mechanism. The solution x is made up of two
components:
Thus,
Substituting the initial conditions into (b), we obtain the coefficients A and B. When t=
0 and x = L0 = 0.2 m, then 0.2= A + 0.002, and finally we obtain
Finally, we obtain
We now calculate the time 11 needed by the blade to reach the point at which it comes
into contact with the wire, i.e., x = 0.1 m. From (d) we obtain
or
The speed x{ developed by the blade at this moment in time is calculated from (c):
Stage b)
We consider two ways to solve this stage. I. We begin with a simple physical estimation
of the time needed for cutting the wire. The whole energy E (kinetic plus potential
components) of the blade at the
moment in time when it comes into contact with the wire is
The work A that must be expended for cutting the wire is expressed as
and this energy (a remaining sum of kinetic and potential components after the cutting is
accomplished) is given by
where x* is the speed of the blade after cutting the wire. From (e) we derive:
Here,
and, therefore,
Thus,

by a differential equation. This latter is

Thus,
Substituting the initial conditions into (g), we obtain the coefficients 7 and A When t = 0
and x = Ll = Q.lm, then the speed is x=-12.17 m/sec, and we obtain from (g) and (h),
respectively,
thus,
Finally, we have
We now calculate the time tl needed by the blade to cut the wire, which takes place
when x = 0.096 m. Therefore, we may write

or
The solution is sought as a sum (0 = 0)^ + co2, where ^ is the homogeneous solution in
the form co\ = Aeat. Substituting this expression into Equation (a), we obtain
The partial solution is then sought as a constant co2 = Q = const. Substitution of this
solution into Equation (a) yields
Thus,
From the initial conditions, we find the coefficient A. For time t = 0, the speed CD = 0.
Therefore,
and finally
From here,
Substituting the desired speed co = 10 I/sec into (d), we may rewrite this expression as

A cam mechanism is shown in Figure 5. The radius of the initial dwelling circle is r0 =
0.08 m. The follower moves along a line passing through the camshaft center (i.e., e =
0). The law of motion of the follower y(0) is given by:

During rotation for 9 = 45, the cam's profile completes the displacement of the
follower for a distance h. Calculate the maximum allowed value h which provides the
condition where the pressure angle a does not exceed the permitted value amax = 20;
calculate the profile angle 0* at which the pressure angle becomes worse.

inclined at an angle a = 10 to the vertical. The coefficient of friction between the tray

Exercise: 7
A strip-feeding device is shown in Figure 7. The thickness of the strip h = 0.004 m, and
the force needed to move it F= 100 N. Other dimensions indicated in the figure have the
following values: L = 0.1 m, / = 0.05 m, and H= 0.06 m. What is the force Q that the
spring must develop to provide reliable functioning of the device? What are the
reactions Rx and Ry at point O? The friction coefficient // = 0.15.
FIGURE 7
Solution:
Since the two levers press the strip from both sides (upper and lower), the mechanism
must develop a friction force P = F/2 at every contact point. Thus, the equations for
forces and torques with respect to point O become

Exercise: 8
One of the two elements of a ribbon feeder is shown in Figure 8. The spring in it
develops a force F= 20 N. The spring acts on two rollers which, due to the shape of the
device, create a friction force between the ribbon (point B) and the rollers and the inner
inclined surface of the housing (point A). The inclination angle = 15, and the
coefficient of friction fj. = 0.3. What is the pulling force Q that this device is able to
develop?
FIGURE 8
Solution:
Since the two rollers press the strip from both sides (upper and lower), the mechanism
must develop a friction force Fb = QI2 at every point of contact with the strip. Thus, the
equations for forces and torques with respect to point O become

Exercise: 10
Calculate the displacement H per second of a part placed on the groove of a spirally
vibrating bowl, such as in Figure 10, of a vibrofeeder. Pertinent data for the feeder are
clear from Figure 10: Inclination angle of the groove a = 2, Slope angle of the springs
7 = 30, Coefficient of friction between the groove and the feed part ju = 0.6, Frequency
of vibration/= 50 Hz, and Amplitude of the harmonic vibration a = 0.1 mm.
FIGURE 10
Solution:
The angular frequency co of the oscillations of the bowl is CQ = 2nf=2x5Q = 3l4 I/sec.
The motion S of the bowl is: S = 0.0001 sin 314 t m. The acceleration S of the bowl
obviously is S = -0<w2sina = -0.0001-3142sin314tm/sec2. The maximal value of the
acceleration Smax is Smax = aa>2 = 0.0001-3142 = 10 ml sec2. The angle/3 = y-oc =
30 - 2 = 28. From Expressions we calculate the values of critical accelerations for the
half-periods of both positive and negative oscillations.
Thus,
30
and
The latter expression means that during the second half-period of oscillations slide
conditions practically do not occur for the body on the tray . By applying Expression
(7.35), we check whether rebound conditions exist on the tray, a situation that occurs
when the acceleration exceeds the value Sr. Thus,
At any point of movement, no point of the bowl reaches this acceleration value.
Therefore, there is no rebound in the discussed case. We can now proceed to calculate
the displacement of the items. From the curves in Figure 7.25 it follows that the time tv
at which the slide begins (section EM) and the groove lags behind the item, is defined as
At this moment in time, the speed V0 of the item (and the bowl) is defined as
The slide begins with this speed and is under the influence of the friction force F =
-fj.m(g + y ) acting backwards. For our engineering purposes, we simplify this
definition to the form F= //mg. This force causes deceleration:

or
or
It is interesting to observe the influence of the friction coefficient ju on the values of the
critical accelerations for both oscillation directions. We show here the computation in
MATHEMATICA language. Results are given in Figure 10. (For convenience in
MATHEMATICA we use m for the friction coefficient.)

This displacement takes place 50 times every second. Therefore, the total displacement

cube with a hole drilled symmetrically in the middle of it (A =B = C and H=2h). This
case is analogous to case 4 in the figure (the hole makes a difference to one of the
dimensions). Therefore, it has three different positions on the tray. When a right
parallelepiped with a symmetrically located hole (H= 2h)for both cases: A B = C
and AB Cis considered, we have a body possessing three planes of symmetryline
3 in the figure. This gives six different positions of the body on the tray. Finally, the
most common case, when the hole is located so that H 2h, fits line 2 in the figure for
both cases. The body possesses two planes of symmetry and, therefore, 12 different
positions on the tray are possible. This results are presented in the ollowing table.

How many stable modes on the tray of a feeder can the part shown in Figure 12 have
when:
H=B = L;
H*B = L;and

FIGURE 12
Solution:
To answer the question we use Figure 11.1 This is the case that corresponds to line 2 in
the figure. The body possesses two planes of symmetry and, therefore, 12 different
positions on the tray are possible. Because of its internal asymmetry, this body requires
special means for its orientation. These means are, for instance, a) utilization of the
location of the asymmetrical mass center, and b) means of electrodynamic or magnetic
orientation.
