Answer ALL questions. PART A — (10 x 2 = 20 marks) What do you mean by compliance mechanism? What are wrapping pair? Define coriolis component of acceleration. Differentiate between slider crank and inverted slider crank mechanism. ‘What is cusp? What is the geometrical meaning of inflection point and circle? Differentiate between pole point and instantaneous center. What is the meaning of structural error? What is undercutting in cam? What are cognate linkages?ee ul PART B — (5 x 16 = 80 marks) (a) @) Define a kinematic chain and also their classifications. 8 _ (ii) Fig. 1 shows a generalized cam mechanism. Find out equivalent mechanism with lower pairs only 8) Oscillaving follower = % Path of a 2 nS 95 et Fig. 1 Or (>) @ Explain the basie structure of serial and parallel robot manipulator. 8) (i) Determine the degree of freedom of the Peaucellier mechanism. (8) (@) Inthe mechanism shown in Fig 2, a, =10 rad/sec. Determine @, and a using auxiliary point method. Given 0,A=7.5 cm, AB=5cm, BC = 7.5 em, 0,C = 6.25 cm (and is vertical, CD = 10 em, BD =5em, 0,D=5 cm, 20,AB=110", ZABC=115", Z0,DB=110". (16)ee ee (>) Fig. 3a shows three degree of freedom arm and Fig. 3b shows the coordinate system attached to various links. Express the end link coordinate system in the base coordinate system in terms of link parameters and joint variables s,, 6, and 5, 16) (a) b) 13. (a) Derive four-bar mechanism coupler equation and also state geometrical properties of coupler curve. (6) Or (b) List the names of the straight line mechanisms. Explain one straight line mechanism and one approximate straight mechanism with its necessary conditions. a6) 14. (a) Using Bloch’s method synthesis a four-bar linkage to mest the following specifications of angular positions and velocities at one of its positions. (6) @,=10 rad/sec; a, =5 rad/sec* @, =2 rad/sec; ay =15 rad/sec? @, =5 rad/sec; a, =1 rad/sec? Or (») Explain about the graphical 2 points and 3 points synthesis of relative pole and inversion methods for four-bar and slider crank mechanisms. (16) 15. (a) (i) Discuss about synthesis of single dual mechanism. (0) (i) Explain how multi duals are achieved geared five-link mechanism. ©) Or (>) A radial cam rotates at 1000 rpm with the follower rising 25 mm with SHM in 120° of cam rotation. The roller is 25 mm in diameter and prime circle is 85 mm in diameter. Check whether there will be undercutting. (16) 3 63436
