General Introduction

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Mechanics can be defined as an area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies
when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their
environment. During the early modern period, scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, and Newton laid the
foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. It is a branch of classical physics that deals
with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of
light. It can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on
objects. Mechanics always divided into three parts which are mechanics of rigid bodies, mechanics of
deformable bodies and mechanics of fluids.

The mechanics of rigid bodies is divided into statics and dynamics. It is dealing with bodies at rest and
then with bodies in motion. The basic concepts used in mechanics are space, time, mass and force.

N
O
Machines may be defined as that branch of Engineering-science, which deals with the study of
relative motion between the various parts of a machine, and forces which act on them. The

KS
knowledge of this subject is very essential for an engineer in designing the various parts of a
machine. It is a device which receives energy in some available form and utilises it to do some
particular type of work.

IC
Machines employ power to achieve desired forces and movement (motion). A machine has a power

D
source and actuators that generate forces and movement, and a system of mechanisms that shape
the actuator input to achieve a specific application of output forces and movement. Modern
T
machines often include computers and sensors that monitor performance and plan movement, and
are called mechanical systems.
R
PO

Theory of Machines may be sub-divided into the following four branches :

i. Kinematics
Deals with the relative motion between the various parts of the machines.
IK

ii. Dynamics
Deals with the forces and their effects, while acting upon the machine parts in motion.
KN

iii. Kinetics
Deals with the inertia forces which arise from the combined effect of the mass and motion of
the machine parts.
TE

iv. Statics
Deals with the forces and their effects while the machine parts are at rest. The mass of the parts
is assumed to be negligible.
LI

Mechanics of Machines always used Newton’s Three Fundametal Laws to solve the problem. These
PO

law can be stated as follows :


First Law. If the resultant force acting on a particle is zero, the particle will remain at rest (if originally
at rest) or will move with constant speed in a straight line (if originally in motion)

Second Law. If the resultant force acting on a particle is not zero, the particle will have an
acceleration proportional to the magnitude of the resultant and in the direction of this resultant
force. This law can be stated as F=ma

Third law. The forces of action and reaction between bodies in contact have the same magnitude,
same line of action and opposite sense.

General Introduction

Fundamental Quantity and Units

The measurement of physical quantities is one of the most important operations in engineering.
Every quantity is measured in terms of some arbitrary, but internationally accepted units, called
fundamental units. International System of Units (SI Units) is the units used in this book. The base
unit of length, mass and time and are called respectively meter (m), kilogram (kg) and the second (s).

Length is the distance between two points or place, time is interval between the two events and
mass is the quantity of matter contained by a body. All physical quantities, met within this subject,
are expressed in terms of the following three fundamental quantities is shown in Table 1.

c) Convert one torque to another torque
d) Convert force into torque

TIP :

Velocity diagrams are drawn perpendicular to the link but for piston it will draw based on direction of
the piston ....whereas acceleration diagrams are drawn by knowing the values 2 components radial
or centripetal component and tangential component.......the radial component moves parallel to the
link and perpendicular to the velocity diagram.....but the tangential component moves perpendicular
to the link and parallel to the velocity diagram.
(Hint : We can calculate acceleration either from space diagram or velocity diagram)

Velocity Diagram

 The construction of velocity diagrams needs to be done accurately and to a suitable scale.

N
 There are two types of velocity :

O
a) Absolute velocity – velocity of a point measured from a fixed point (normally the ground or
anything rigidly attached to the ground and not moving)

KS
b) Relative velocity – velocity of a point measured relative to another that may itself be
moving
 Due to movement of mechanism, the velocity need to be draw is relative velocity (any point

IC
relative to any point)
 Velocity can be measured – Tangential (for links), Radial (for piston)

D
T
Tangential Velocity
R

 Tangential velocity is measured for the velocity that act at the rigid link
PO

 Velocity of a rigid link is the velocity of one point on a link relative to another and must be
perpendicular (900) to the axis of the link
 Consider a link AB pinned at A and revolving about A at angular velocity (ω) as shown in Figure
3.2 below

 The velocity of C relative to B is perpendicular to link BC and passes through b
 The velocity of C relative to D is perpendicular to link CD and passes through d

c) Draw the velocity of connecting rod (VB)A. Value of (VB)A cannot be calculate by equation
because ω is not given. Just draw the velocity from point a
d) Draw the velocity for piston (vc) from point O because velocity of piston is relative to point O.
Value of (vc) cannot be calculate by equation because ω is not given. Just draw the velocity

 It is important to determine the acceleration of links because acceleration produces inertia force
in the link which stress the component parts of the mechanism.
 Accelerations may be relative or absolute (same way as described for velocity)
 Acceleration of one point on a link relative to another has two components :
a) Radial component due to the angular velocity of the link. Centripetal acceleration is an
example of radial component
b) Tangential component due to the angular acceleration of the link

FRICTION

CHAPTER 4 : FRICTION

Introduction

 Surface of the bodies are never perfectly smooth


 It is found to have roughness and irregularities when viewed under microscope
 If a block be placed over a surface, a certain degree of interlocking of the minutely projecting
particles take place
 Does not involve any force, as long as the block does not move or tend to move
 Whenever the block moves or tends to move, the interlocking property of the projecting
particles opposes the motion
 This opposing force, which acts in the opposite direction of the movement of the block is called

N
the friction force

O
At every joint in a machine, force of friction arises due to the relative motion between two parts
and hence some energy is wasted in overcoming the friction

KS
 Though the friction considered undesirable, actually it is plays as important role both in nature
and in engineering. For instant, walking on a road, motion of locomotive on rails, transmission of
power by belts, gears etc.

IC
Types of Friction
D
T
 Two types of friction
 Static Friction - experienced by a body when at rest
R

 Dynamic Friction / Kinetic Friction - experienced by a body when in motion. It is less than the
PO

static friction.
 Three types of dynamic friction
a) Sliding friction – the friction experienced by a body when it is slides over another body
b) Rolling friction – the friction experienced between the surfaces which has balls or rollers
IK

interposed between them


c) Pivot friction – the friction experienced by a body due to the motion of rotation as in case in
KN

foot step bearings


 Friction also classified as friction between unlubricated surfaces and friction between lubricated
surfaces
TE

Friction between unlubricated surfaces


LI

 Friction between unlubricated surface is the friction that between two dry and unlubricated
PO

surfaces in contact.
 Also known as dry or solid friction
 It is due to the surface roughness
 Includes the sliding friction and rolling friction
 When lubricant (i.e. oil or grease) is applied between two surfaces in contact
 Classified into two types depending upon the thickness of layer of a lubricant
 Boundary friction – it is the friction experienced between the rubbing surfaces, when the
surfaces have very thin layer of the lubricant
 Fluid friction – it is the friction experienced between the rubbing surfaces, when the surfaces
have a thick layer of the lubricant

116
FRICTION

Limiting Friction

• Consider a body A of weight W is lying on a rough surface, B as shown in figure below

N
O
Figure 4.1 : Limiting Friction

KS
 In this position, the body is in equilibrium under the action of its own weight, W and the normal
reaction, RN. At this situation

IC
W  RN


D
Small horizontal force P1 (diagram b) is applied to the body. But the body does not move
because of frictional force which prevents the motion. This shows that the applied force, P1 is
T
exactly balanced by the friction force, F1 acting opposite direction

R
In figure C, applied force was increased to P2 but the body still in equilibrium position. This
means the friction force has also increased to F2. Where P2 = F2
PO

 Thus every time the applied force is increased, friction force also increases, become exactly
equal to the applied force.
 However, friction force have a limitation in which the friction force cannot increase
 After this, any increase in the applied force will not lead to any further increase in friction force.
IK

Thus, the body A begins to move in the direction of the applied force.
 The maximum friction force in static condition is known as limiting force of friction.
KN

 So that when the applied force is less than the limiting friction, the body remain at rest and the
is called static friction
TE

Laws of Static Friction


LI

 Force of friction always acts in the direction, opposite to that in which the body tends to move
PO

 The magnitude of the force of friction is exactly equal to the applied force
 The magnitude of the limiting friction, Fr bears / support a constant ratio to the normal reaction,
RN;
Fr  RN

Fr

RN

 Friction force is independent of the area of contact between the two surfaces
 Friction force depend upon the roughness of the surfaces

117
FRICTION

Laws of Dynamic Friction or Kinetic Friction

 Friction force act opposite of direction of the body movement


 The magnitude of the kinetic friction, Fr bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction, RN. But
the ratio is slightly less than in case of limiting friction
 For moderate speeds, the friction force remains constant. But it decrease slightly with the
increase of speed

Laws of Solid Friction

 The force of friction is directly proportional to the normal load between the surfaces;

N
Fr  RN

O
 The force of friction is independent of the area of the contact surface for a given normal load

KS
The force of friction depends upon the material of which the contact surfaces are made
 The force of friction is independent of the velocity of sliding of one body relative to the other
body

IC
Laws of Fluid Friction

 The force of friction is almost independent of the load


D
T
 The force of friction reduces with the increase of the temperature of the lubricant
R

 The force of friction is independent of the substances of the bearing surfaces



PO

The force of friction is different for different lubricants

Coefficient of Friction

CHAPTER 5 : BALANCING

Introduction

 The balancing of rotating bodies is important to avoid vibrations


 Heavy industrial machines such as steam turbines and electric generators, vibration could cause
catastrophic failure
 Vibration are noisy and uncomfortable
 For a body to be completely balanced it must have two things :
a) Static Balance – occurs when there is no resultant centrifugal force and the center of gravity
is on the axis of rotation
b) Dynamic Balance – occurs when there is no resulting turning moment along the axis

N
The magnitude and position of the balancing mass may be found out analytically or graphically
 By using graphical method, need to draw the polygon

O
 If the system not in complete balance, the polygon is opened
 If the system is in complete balance, the polygon is closed

BELT DRIVES

CHAPTER 6 : BELT DRIVES

Introduction

 Belt drives are widely used in many industries for power transmission since they are cheap and
easy to maintain
 However they are often a source of vibration due to misalignments, belt resonance and belt
wear
 The main purpose of belt drives is to transfer power between machines such as motor and fan
 Belts are friction drives, which mean they depend on friction depend on friction between the
belt and pulley/sheave to transmit power
 The belts are used to transmit power from one shaft to another by means of pulleys which

N
rotates at the same speed or at different speed
 The amount or power transmitted depends upon the velocity of the belt, the tension under

O
which the belt is placed on the pulleys, the arc of contact between the belt and the smaller
pulley and the conditions under which the belt is used

KS
 Selection of a belt drive depend upon the following factors
a) Speed of the driving and driven shafts

 The most common types of belt include

a) Flat belts
Mostly used in the factories or workshops, where a moderate amount of power is to be
transmitted, from one pulley to another not more than 8 meters apart
b) V belts
IK

The most widely used in industry. Where a moderate or high amount of power is to be
transmitted, from one pulley to another, when the two pulleys are very near to each other.
KN

Have a V shaped cross section, which rests against the side of V pulley under tension. The V
shaped cross-section is to prevent belt from slipping off.
c) Round belts
TE

This type of belt is generally used for light loads, such as sewing machine or a vacuum
cleaner
d) Timing / toothed belts
LI

Timing belts are toothed belts that use their teeth for power transmission, as opposed to
friction. This configuration results in no slippage, and therefore, the driving and driven
PO

shafts remain synchronized. Its more expensive to manufacture due to complexity of the
belt and pulley shapes

Open Belt Drives

 Open belt drive is used with shafts arranged parallel and rotating in the same direction.
 From figure as shown below the driver A pulls the belt from one side (i.e. lower side RQ) and
delivers it to the other side (i.e. upper side LM).
 Thus the tension in the lower side belt will be more than that in the upper side belt.
 The lower side belt (because of more tension) is known as TIGHT SIDE whereas the upper side
belt (because of less tension) is known as SLACK SIDE
