Slider Crank Mechanism Lab Report

The document describes a lab report on a crank and slider mechanism. The objectives were to learn about the construction and working principle of the mechanism and analyze the displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Measurements were taken of the slider's displacement, velocity, and acceleration at various crank degree positions. Graphs were produced showing the displacement, velocity, and acceleration followed sinusoidal, decreasing, and decreasing patterns, respectively.

LAB REPORT # 1

CRANK AND SLIDER MECHANISM

Objectives of experiment:
 To learn the construction and working principle of slider crack mechanism.
 Dynamics analysis of displacement, velocity and acceleration.

Apparatus:
 Slider crack mechanism
 Meter rod
 Degree meter showing crank position

Introduction:
This experiment will teach us the construction and working principle of slider crack mechanism
along with its basic applications in everyday life, along with the relationship between
displacement, velocity and acceleration by graphical analysis

Theory:
Links:

Every element or pair of elements moving relative to the other parts of machine is called link.

Classification of links:

 Binary link
 Ternary link
 Quaternary link

Types of links:

1) Rigid link e.g connects rod and crank


2) Flexible link e.g belts, ropes, springs
3) Fluid link e.g hydraulic press

Classification of Kinematic pair:

 Lower pair
When two links have surface contacts beween them then pair is known as lower pair e.g nut and
bolt, shaft and bearing, ball and socket joint.

 Higher pair

When two links have line or point contact between them the pair is known as higher pair e.g
gears, cam and follower, rolling ball.

Kinematic chain

An assembly of links in which the relative motion of the links is possible and the motion of each
link relative to the other is definite and follows a law.

Mechanisms:

When one link of kinematic chain is fixed and the arrangement of links is used to transmit
motion, then it is said to be a mechanism.

Slider crank mechanism:

It is an apparatus that is used to convert the linear motion into rotary and rotary into linear

Procedure:
1) The crank was rotated to check the working of the whole assembly.
2) Before taking reading, the crank was turned slowly and the movement of the piston was
watched. The piston slide in one direction then reverse
3) The position where the piston reverse was located.
4) This position was used as the start point
5) One end of the piston was used as the marker to measure the piston movement.
6) The crank was rotated and the corresponding piston movement was recorded.

Comments
Displacement degree graph shows that first displacement increases and reaches its peak value in mid and
then decreases, this forms a sinusoidal wave from or shows a oscillatory motion. Velocity is changing
constantly is crank is rotated. Acceleration was maximum at the beginning and then started decresing
gradually.
