Newtons laws and axioms devised in 1600s. They cannot be proved arithmetically. No experimental evidence up till now has been observed to violate them. These are three laws:
Newtons First Law: A body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in uniform motion (direction & magnitude of the velocity not changing) unless a net non-zero force act on it. Newtons first law is expressed as mathematically;
F = 0 M = 0
Velocities do not necessarily have to be zero. A vector constant means that both its magnitude and direction are constant. If the direction of the velocity of translating body does not change it moves on a straight line. If angular velocity is constant, whatever its magnitude, sense of rotation i.e. clockwise or counterclockwise does not change.
Newtons Second Law: When a net, non-zero force acts on a body, the body accelerates in
F a F = ma M M = I
Where m is an inertial (related with body on existence of) property of the moving body. It is called mass and defined as the amount of matter in a body. Definition of the mass in terms of dynamics is resistance of a body against translation I is also inertial property of the moving body. It is called mass moment of inertia and defined as the resistance of a body against rotation. It is function of a mass & dimensions of the body and is a relative indication of the distance of the mass particles from the axis of indication.
Newtons second law describes the motion of particles, but particles are hypothetical, nonrealistic. Realistic bodies have finite dimensions. Eulers law describes the motion of rigid bodies of finite dimensions, which can both rotate and translate, these are more realistic.
Newtons Third Law: Every force has a reaction; equal in magnitude, collinear, and opposite
in direction to the original force.
In determination of the dynamic behavior of a body or system of bodies, we use NewtonEuler law. Mass and mass moment of inertia can be easily measured, yet in most cases they are constant. There are two variables; force and acceleration. So, two types of problem can come up:
i. Forward Dynamics Problem: Accelerations are given, forces are required. Solution is simply multiplying mass with acceleration. This is solved with algebraic equation and hence easy. ii. Inverse Dynamics Problem: Forces are given, accelerations are asked. To find the acceleration, we pre multiply both sides of the motion equation by the inverse of mass. In a simple equation; inverse of mass is simply, the reciprocal of mass and calculation is a simple division. However, in a multi degree of freedom system, we have on equation for each freedom. So, we have a set of equations, mass expressions become a square matrix. Then, to find the accelerations we have to find the inverse of it and pre-multiply both sides of the equations with it. At the end of dynamic analysis, we get accelerations, which are still not too much meaningful. We generally need velocities and positions. Accelerations must be integrated twice to obtain positions. Integration is a difficult operation, often impossible. So, we generally do numerical integration. Inverse dynamics problem is difficult.
Subject matter of ME 302 is to apply Newtons laws to multi-body, multi degree of freedom mechanical systems (mechanisms) to understand their mechanical behavior. We start with the simple problem where the bodies accelerations are zero. In most machines, accelerations are negligible small. Then all the forces and moments will add to zero. This
is the static condition. Every sub-component of a static system is also static. So, If a mechanism is static, each of its links are also static. That means we can examine each link by one and apply the law of statics to them. Big problem of the whole mechanism is now broken into several simpler problems. Each body with all the acting forces is called a free body. Pictorial representation of a free body is called the free body diagram.
i.
External forces are generated by effects external to the mechanism, like actuation
forces from a motor or actuator. Forces exerted by the mechanism on the external machinery or material doing functional and useful task. Reactions of the external forces are outside our system boundary.
ii. Constraint forces constraint means limitation of freedom, in our case, limitation
of free motion. These forces are applied onto each link to prevent their free motion. Free motion in plane is of three degrees. Translation in x and y directions and rotation about z-axis. Constraint forces are applied through the joints and they act in proper direction and at proper magnitude to limit the motion to the one expected from the mechanism. Reactions of constraint forces are inside the system boundary.

A force generates a moment (or torque) about a point which is not in its line of action moment is the turning effect of a force.
F
v v v v F = Fx i + Fy j + Fz k
Fy
v v v M A = r xF
Moment direction can be found by right hand rule. t is perpendicular to the plane v v formed by r and F .
Constraint forces are exerted by the joints and depend on the shape and construction of the joints. A joint cannot transfer force and motion in direction of its Degrees of Freedom. In this sense, freedom is a free motion.
i.
Revolute joint:
about z-axis. It cannot transfer force or torque or angular motion about z-axis, but it transmits forces and torques and related motions in all the other remaining directions. These are;
x Fx Fy My Mx Fz z y Fy My
x Fx Mx Fz
ii.
Prismatic joint:
It has one degree of freedom, which is a translation along z axis. It cannot transmit a force in z axis, but it can transmit forces in x and y directions and moments x, y, and z axis.
x Fx Fy My Mx Mz z
x 3 Fx Fy My Mx
Mz
In case of two dimensions, a prismatic joint in a planar mechanism can transmit a force only in y direction, i.e., perpendicular to the sliding axis.
iii.
Cylindrical Joint:
rotation about the same axis, called the cylindrical axis. So, no torque transmission about z-axis, no force transmission along z-axis is possible. In all other directions, there can be forces and moments
transmitted, which are forces in x and y-axis and moments about y and z-axis.
x Fx Fy My Mx Fy My
x Fx Mx
iv.
Screw joint:
along and rotation about z-axis, are not independent from each other. Therefore degree of freedom is only one. This is a rotation about z-axis. It cannot take moments about z-axis. It can transmits forces in x, y, z-

v.
Planar pair:
It
has

degree

freedom,
translation along x and z directions and a rotation about y-axis. There are no forces and a torque transmission in these directions. In all other directions there
can be force and moment transmitted, which are force in y-axis and moments x and z-axis.
x x 2 Fx y My Mx Mz z y My Mx Fx Mz

Spherical joint:

It has three rotational degrees of freedom, so it cannot transmit any moments. It can transmit forces in all directions.

Solution of vector equations can be by arithmetical and or graphical.
Graphical Approach: We draw straight lines to represent vectors which are in proper directions and lengths proportional to the magnitudes of the vectors and in an articulated manner as depicted in Figure. Vectors form a closed polygon called a vector loop

These two component equations are not no longer vector equations. They are scalar and can be simultanously solved to find max two of the following; F1 , F2 , F3 , 1 , 2 , and 3 .
A similar analysis is requierd for the torques. Torques are calculated with respect to a certain point. The selection of the reference point is immaterial. If the moments acting on an object are in static equilibrium about a point, they are in static equilibrium about any other point also.
Simple cases:
i. If there are only two forces acting on a body and no moments, it is called a two force member. To satisfy sum of forces eqaual to zero, the two forces should be equal and opposite.
F2 F1
F1 F2
F = 0; F
v v F1 = F2
v + F 2= 0
To satisfy sum of torque is equal to zero distance between the forces must be zero. This means that the forces are collinear.
ii. Three member is a component on which only three forces acts and no moments. To v satisfy F = 0 , the vectors must form a closed polygon and coplanar. To satisfy v M = 0, the lines of application of all the three forces intersects at one single point. This point is called the point of concurrency.

Solution: First step is a position analysis to find the angles of the crank CD and the coupler links. The simplest way is to draw the mechanism to scale and measure the required angles by a protractor directly from the figure. Or we can take a purely arithmetical approach.

In this example we are beginning with link 5. Since link 5 is two force member, this requires that F65 and FC5 have equal magnitudes and opposite directions. We can now select the link 6 from which the force analysis can be started. Then, the force of F56 can be calculated as:
