    Assignment 3 Due: Feb. 11, 2011

    1. A Watt’s sixbar linkage is shown below

    (1) For the given position, find the angular position of link O4C by solving the following vector
    equation
    R A  R BA  RO4  R BO4  0
    Then, find the position of point P with respect to X2-Y2 coordinate system.
    (2) Find the extreme positions of point P graphically. Give the corresponding 2 with respect to X1-
    Y1 coordinate system. Indicate the range of point P’s horizontal motion.

    2. Three fourbar linkages are given below. If the linkage is crank-rocker, find the minimum
    transmission angle and check whether it is possible to have   90 . If the linkage is triple-rocker,
    find  2 when the transmission angle is zero and find the transmission angle when the linkage is at
    the toggle position. If the linkage is Grashof double-rocker, find  2 when the transmission angle is
    zero and 90o, respectively.
    Lengths of links (in centimeters)
    linkage a (link 2) b (coupler) c (rocker) d (ground)
    1 2 4.5 7 9
    2 2 3.5 7 9
    3 8 2 8 8

    3. The figure shows a single action toggle mechanism. A motor with a clock-wise constant speed is
    used to drive link 2 (O2A). The downward stroke of the slider is used to press a workpiece.

    (a) Find the motion range of the slider, i.e., maximum x and minimum x.
    (b) Find time ratio TR.
    (c) Define the transmission angle between the slider and link 5 (BC) according to the definition of
    the transmission angle for the fourbar linkage. Find the corresponding maximum and minimum
    transmission angles.

    Note: You may present you solution on the same drawing. However, as the drawing is not in a full
    scale, please pay attention to the scale used.

    4. A fivebar linkage is given below. One end of Link 5 or PC is connected to coupler point P and the
    other end is pin C that moves in a slot DE.

    (1) For 2 146 or 214 , find the angle 3 of link 3 (AB) and the angle 4 of link 4 (O4B)
    analytically.
    (2) Find the position of coupler point P.
    (3) Find the angle 5 of link 5 (PC) and the position g of point C by solving the following vector
    loop equation:

    R P  RO4  R EO4  RCE  R PC  0

    (4) Use the provided Matlab program position_fourbar_360.m to make the following plots:
    (a) 3 vs. 2
    (b) 4 vs. 2
    (c)  vs. 2
    (d) Px vs. 2 and Py vs. 2
    for one revolution of the crank.
