THEORY OF MACHINES It is the branch of Engineering Science, which deals with the study of relative motion between the various parts of machine along with the forces acting on the parts is known as the Theory of Machines (TOM). Kinematic Link: Each resistant body in a machine which moves relative to another resistant body is called kinematic link or element. A resistant body is which donot go under deformation while transmitting the force. Kinematic Pair: If the relative motion between the two elements of a machine in contact with each other is completely or successfully constrained then these elements together is known as kinematic pair. CONSTRAINED MOTIONS Constrained motion (or relative motion) can be broadly classified is to three types. 1. Completely Constrained: Constrained motion in which relative motion between the links of a kinematic pair occurs in a definite direction by itself irrespective of the external forces applied. For example a square bar in a square hole undergoes completely constrained motion. 2. Incompletely Constrained: Constrained motion in which the relative motion between the links depend on the direction of external forces acting on them. These motions between a pair can take place in more than one direction. For example a shaft inside a circular hole. 3. Partially (or Successfully) Constrained Motion: If the relative motion between its links occurs in a definite direction, not by itself, but by some other means, then kinematic pair is said to be partially or successfully constrained. For example a piston reciprocating inside a cylinder in an internal combustion engine.

Based on the type of mechanical constraint (or mechanical contact) (a) Self Closed Pair: If the links in the pair have direct mechanical contact, even without the application of external force. (b) Force Closed Pair: If the links in the pair are kept in contact by the application of external forces. Based on the type of relative motion between the elements of the pair (a) Sliding Pair: A kinematic pair in which each element has sliding contact with respect to the other element. (b) Rolling Pair: In a rolling pair, one element undergoes rolling motion with respect to the other. (c) Turning Pair: In a turning pair, one link undergoes turning motion relative to the other link. (d) Screw Pair: It consists of links that have both turning and sliding motion relative to each other. (e) Cylindrical Pair: A kinematic pair in which the links undergo both rotational and translational motion relative to one another. (f) Spherical Pair: In a spherical pair, a spherical link turns inside a fixed link. It has three degrees of freedom.
DEFINITION OF KINEMATIC CHAIN Combination of kinematic pairs joined in such a way that the last link is joined to the first link and the relative motion between them is definite. There are two equations to find out. Whether the chain is kinematic or not. l = 2p – 4 where l = number of links p = number of pairs also
TYPES OF KINEMATIC PAIRS The classified of kinematic pairs is listed as below: 1. Based on the nature of contact between the pairing elements. (a) Lower Pair: Links in the pair have surface or area contact between them. The surface of one element slides over the surface of the other. For example: a piston along with cylinder. (b) Higher Pair: In which the links have point or line contact and motions are partly turing and partly sliding. For example: ball bearings, can and follower.

where j = number of joints To determine the nature of chain we use equation h 3 = l–2 2 2 h = No. of higher pairs L.H.S > R.H.S. then it is a locked chain j+
where If
44 L.H.S. = R.H.S. then it is a kinematic chain L.H.S. < R.H.S. then it is an unconstrained chain GRUBLER’S CRITERION In a mechanism total no. of degrees of freedom is given by F = 3(n – 1) – 2j where n is no. of links and j = no. of joints (simple hinges) most of the mechanism are constrained so F = 1 which produces 1 = 3(n – 1) – 2j 2j – 3n + 4 = 0 this is called Grubler’s criterion. If there are higher pairs also no. of degrees of freedom is given by F = 3(n – 1) – 2j – h where h = no. of higher pairs. Also known as Kutz Bach criterion to determine the number of degree of freedom. This statement says that if the higher pairs are present in the mechanism like as slider crank mechanism or a mechanism in which slipping is possible between the wheel and fixed links. Higher pair: When the two element of a pair have a line or point contact when relative motion takes place and the motion between two elements is partly turning and partly sliding. E.g. Cam and follower, bale and bearing, belt and rope drive etc. Number of degree of freedom (movability): The number of independent parameters that define its configuration. The number of input parameters which must be independently controlled in order to bring the mechanism into useful engineering purpose.
velocity. The plane motion of all the particles of the body may be considered as pure rotation about the point. Such a point is called the instantaneous centre of the body. If there are three rigid bodies in relative planar motion and share three instantaneous centre, all lie on the straight line, called Kennedy’s theorem. Instantaneous axis of rotation: The axis passing through the instaneous centre of the body at right angles to the plane of motion is called instantaneous axis of rotation. Axode: The instantaneous centre changes every moment, its locus is called centrods, and the surface generated by the instantaneous axis is called the axode.
Methods to Locate Instantaneous Centre Locating the instantaneous centre of a body depends on the situation given. Following are some examples: (i) The instantaneous centre I lies at a distance

Fig. Fig. (ii) The instantaneous centre I is the point of intersection of the lines perpendicular to the direction of velocities at the given points on the body as shown in Fig., we can write as Va = IA Vb = IB where is the angular velocity with which the body shall appear to rotate about the instantaneous centre I. (iii) If the two links have a pure rolling contact, the instantaneous centre lies on their point of contact. (iv) If the slider moves on a fixed link having straight surface, the instantaneous centre lies at infinity and each point on the slider have the same velocity.

All the four wheels must turn about the same instantaneous centre to fulfill the condition for correct steering. Equation for the correct steering is cot – cot = c/b where c = Distance between the pivots of the front axles b = Wheel base and are angle through which the axis of the outer wheel and inner whel turns respectively. For approximately correct steering, value of c/b should be in between 0.4 and 0.5. DAVIS STEERING GEAR MECHANISM According to Davis Steering gear the condition for the correct steering is given by tan = c/2b where c = Distance between the pivots of the front axles b = Wheel base = Angle of inclination of the links to the vertical HOOK’S JOINT To connect two shafts intersecting at a small angle (say ) we use Hook’s joint also known as universal joint.

FRACTIONAL TORQUE IN PIVOT AND COLLAR BEARING Pivot and Collar bearings are used to take axial thrust of the rotating shaft. While studying the friction in bearing it is assumed that 1.

BELT DRIVE The transmission of power from one rotating shaft to another lying at a considerable distance, is achieved using belts and ropes. Two parallel shafts may be connected by open belt or by cross belt. In the open belt system, the rotation of both the pulleys is in the same direction. If a crossed belt system is used, the rotation of pulleys will be in the opposite direction. Fig. 11 and Fig. shows open and crossed system respectively.

types having ultimate tensile strength between 4.5 to 7 N per cm width. For heavy duty, two or three piles of leather are cemented and pressed one above the other such belts are called double or triple ply belts. V-belts: Fig. shows the cross section of the V-belts. V-belts are available in five sections designed A, B, C, D, and E and there are used in order of increasing loads. Section A is used for light loads only and section E is used for heavy duty machines. The angle of V-belt for all sections is about 40°. In order to increase the power output, several V-belts may be operated side by side. In multiple V-belt drive, all the belts should stretch at the same rate so that the load is equally divided between them. If one of the set of belts break, the entire set should be replaced at the same time. The groove angle in the pulley for running the belt is between 40°to 60°. Due to reduced slipping, V-belts offer a more positive drive. V-belt drives run quietly at high speeds and are capable of absorbing high shock.

Circular belts: The cross section of a circular belt is shown in Fig. The circular belts are also known as round belts. These are employed when low power is to be transmitted, for example in house hold appliances, table top tools and machinery of the clothing. Round belts are made of leather, canvas and rubber.

(r1
r2 ) 2 + 2x x When the belt passes from the slack side to the tight side a certain portion of the belt extends and when the belt passes from the tight to slack side the belt contracts. Due to these changes in length, there is relative motion (called creep) between the belt and pulley surfaces. Creep reduces the velocity of the belt drive system like slip do. Centrifugal Tension The centrifugal tension (Tc) is given by Tc = mV2 where m = Mass per unit length of the belt V = Linear velocity of the belt The power transmitted can be calculated as below: The total tension on the tight side = T1 + Tc The total tension on the slack side = T2 + Tc Power Transmitted = [(T1 + Tc) – (T2 + Tc)] V = (T1 – T2) V Which is equal to the value of power transmitted given by effective turning force (T1 – T2), that is the centrifugal tension has no effect on the power transmitted. The maximum power transmitted by the belt is given by the maximum total tension in the tight side of the belt when it is three times the centrifugal tension.

Types of Gears Commonly used gear are as below: (a) Spur gear: A cylindrical gear whose tooth traces are straight lines parallel to the gear axis. These are used for transmitting motion between two shafts whose axis are parallel and coplanar. (b) Helical gear: A cylindrical gear whose tooth traces are straight helices, teeth are inclined at an angle to the gear axis. Double helical gears called herringbone gears. The helical gears are used in automobile gear boxes and in steam and gas turbines for speed reduction. The herringbone gears are used in machinery where large power is transmitted at low speeds. (c) Bevel gear: The bevel gear wheels conform to the frusta of cones having a common vertex,tooth traces are straight line generators of the cone. Bevel gears are used to connect two shafts whose axis are coplanar but intersecting when the shafts are at right angles and the wheels equal in size, the bevel gears are called mitre gears. When the bevel gears have their teeth inclined to the face of the bevel, they are known as helical bevel gears.

Worm gear: The system consists of a worm basically part of a screw. The warm meshes with the teeth on a gear wheel called worm wheel. It is used for connecting two non-parallel, non-intersecting shafts which are usually at right angles.
Gear Terminology Terms associated with profile of a gear tooth are illustrated in Fig. Pitch circle: Essentially an imaginary circle which by pure rolling action gives the same motion as the actual gear. Pressure angle or angle of obliquity: Angle between the common normal to two gear teeth at the point of contact and the common tangent at the pitch point (common point of contact between two pitch circles). It is usually denoted by . The standard pressure angles are 14

Circular pitch: Distance measured on the circumference of the pitch circle from a point of one tooth to the corresponding point on the next tooth. It is denoted by Pc, mathematically Pc can be calculated as D T where D = Pitch circle diameter T = Number of teeth on the wheel. For two gears to mesh correctly their circular pitch should be same

Diametral pitch: It represents the number of teeth on a wheel per unit of its diameter. Diameter pitch Pd =
T = D Pc
Pc Pd = Module: It represents the ratio of pitch circle diameter (in mm) to the number of teeth. D 1 m= = T Pd
m Pd = 1 Recommended series of modules in Indian Standards are 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20. Modules of second choice are 1.125, 1.375, 1.75, 2.25, 2.75, 3.5, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 7, 9, 11, 14 and 18. Total depth: Radial distance between the addendum and the dedendum circles of gear. Tooth depth = Addendum + dedendum Clearance: Radial distance from the top of the tooth to the bottom of the tooth in a meshing gear. Circle passing through the top of the meshing gear is known as clearance circle. Standard value of clearance is 0.157 m, where m is module. Dedendum = Addendum + 0.157 m = m + 0.157 m = 1.157 m Working depth: Radial distance from the addendum circle to the clearance circle.
Working depth = Addendum of first gear + Addendum of second gear Back lash: Difference between the tooth space and tooth thickness, measured along the pitch circle. In actual practice somebacklash must be allowed to prevent jamming of the teeth due to tooth errors and thermal expansion. Path of contact: Path traced by the point of contact of two teeth from the begining to the end of engagement. Length of the path of contact: Length of the common normal cutoff by the addendum circles of the wheel and pinion. Arc of contact: The path traced by a point on the pitch circle from the beginning to the end of engagement of a given pair of teeth. It consists of (a) Arc of approach (b) Arc of recess Arc of approach: Portion of the path of contact from the beginning of the engagement to the pitch point. Arc of recess: Portion of the path of contact from the pitch point to the end of the engagement of a pair of teeth. Contact Ratio =

It may only be avoided, if the addendum circles of the two mating gears cut the common tangent to the base circles between the points of tangency. Law of gearing: According to the law of gearing, the common normal at the point of contact between a pair of teeth must always pass through the pitch point.
Gear Trains Any combination of gear wheels by means of which power and motion is transmitted from one shaft to another is known as gear train. Various types of gear train are 1.

Arm C
A wheel used in machines to control the speed variations caused by the fluctuation of the engine turning moment during each cycle of operation. These wheels are known as flywheel. It absorbs energy when crank turning moment is greater than resisting moment and gives energy when turning moment is less than resisting moment. The speed of a flywheel increases during it absorbs energy and decreases when it gives up energy. This way flywheel supplies energy from the power source to the machine at a constant rate throughout the operation. Coefficient of fluctution of energy: Ratio of the maximum fluctuation of energy to the work done per cycle, is called coefficient of fluctuation of energy. Emax = Emax – Emin Cenergy =

GOVERNORS The function of a governor is to regulate the mean speed of an engine within mentioned speed limits for varying type of load condition. Terms Used in Governors (a) Height of Governor: Vertical distance from the centre of the ball to a point where arms intersect on the spindle axis. (b) Equilibrium Speed: The speed at which the governor balls, arms etc. are in complete equilibrium and the sleeve does not tend to move upwards or downwards. (c) Sleeve Lift: Vertical distance with the sleeve travels because of change in equilibrium speed. (d) Mean Equilibrium Speed: The speed at the mean position of the balls or sleeve. (e) Maximum and Minimum Equilibrium Speeds: The speeds at the maximum and minimum radius of rotation of the balls, without tending to move either way are known as maximum and minimum equilibrium speeds respectively. If N1 and N2 are maximum and minimum speeds then Sensitiveness =
2 (N1 – N 2 ) (N1 N 2 )
(f)
Sensitiveness: A governor is said to be sensitive, if its change of speed is from no load to full load may be small a fraction of the mean equilibrium speed as possible and the corresponding sleeve lift may be as large as possible. (g) Stability: If for every speed within the working range there is a configuration of governor balls, then it is said that governor is stable. For a stable governor, the radius of governor balls must increase with increase in the equilibrium speed. (h) Hunting: Fluctuation in the speed engine continuously above and below the mean speed is called hunting. (i) Isochronism: A governor is isochronous provided the equilibrium speed is constant for all radii of rotation of the balls upto the working range. (j) Governor Effort: The average force required on the sleeve to make it rise or come down for a given change in speed. (k) Power of Governor: The work done at sleeve for a given percentage change in speed. Mathematically Power = Mean effort Lift of sleeve Types of Governors Different types of Governors are: (1) Simple governor-Watt type: The simplest type a centrifugal governor is known as watt type or watt governor. Height of the governor is given by h=
895
metres N2 where N = speed of the arm and ball about the spindle axis. (2) Porter governor: It is obtained by modifying a Watt governor with a central load attached to the sleeve. The governor speed

where m = mass of the ball M = mass of the sleeve (3) Hartnell governor: This is a spring controlled governor. If lsleeve is the lift of the sleeve and Xcompression is the compression of the spring then y x where r1 = Minimum radius of rotation r2 = Maximum radius of rotation x = Length of ball arm of lever y = Length of sleeve arm of lever Stiffness of the spring is given by

BRAKES A device which applies artificial frictional resistance to a moving machine member, inorder to retard or stop the motion of machine, is known as brake.
Types of Brakes There are four types of brakes commonly used listed below: 1. Shoe brake 2. Band and block brake 3. Internal expanding brake Dynamometers It is a brake having a device to measure the frictional resistance. We may obtain the torque transmitted and have power of the engine by knowing the frictional resistance. There are two types of dynamometers, used for measuring the brake power of the engine. 1. Absorption dynamometers: A dynamometer in which the entire energy or power produced by the engine is absorbed by the friction resistances of the brakes and is transformed into heat, during process of measurement. There are two types of absorption dynamometers. (i) Prony brake dynamometer (ii) Rope brake dynamometer. 2. Transmission dynamometers: A dynamometer in which the energy is not wasted in friction but is used for doing work. The energy or power produced by the engine is transmitted through the dynamometer to some other machines where the power developed is suitably measured. There are three types of transmission dynamometer (i) Epicyclic-train dynamometer (ii) Belt transmission dynamometer (iii) Torsion dynamometer

A rotating machine element which gives reciprocating or oscillating motion to another element called follower is known as cam. These are mainly used for inlet and exhaust values of I.C. engines, lathes etc. Types of Cams 1. Radial cam: A cam in which follower reciprocates or oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the cam. Radial cam is further classified as (a) Reciprocating cam (b) Tangent cam (c) Circular cam 2. Cylindrical Cam: A cam in which the follower reciprocates or oscillates in a direction parallel to the cam axis. CAMS TERMINOLOGY A radial cam with reciprocating roller follower is shown in Fig. 1. Base Circle: Smallest circle that can be drawn to the cam profile. 2. Trace Point: The reference point on the follower which is used to generate the pitch curve that varies from case to case. For example, in case of knife edge follower, the knife edge represents the trace point and the pitch curve corresponds to the cam profile while in case of roller follower, the centre of the roller represents the trace point. 3. Pressure Angle: The angle between the direction of the follower motion and a normal to the pitch curve. Keeping the pressure angle too large will lead to joining of reciprocating follower. 4. Pitch Point: A point on the pitch pitch curve having the maximum pressure angle. Reciprocating roller follower

Fig. Pitch Circle: A circle drawn from the centre of the cam through the pitch points. Pitch Curve: The curve generated by the trace point as the follower moves relative to the cam. Prime Circle: Smallest circle that can be drawn from the centre of the cam and tangent to the pitch curve. For a roller follower, the prime circle is larger than the base circle by the radius of the roller while in case of knife edge and a flat face follower it is equal. Lift or Stroke: The maximum travel of follower from its lowest position to the topmost position is called life or stroke.
10. 11. 12.
Angle of Ascent: It is the angle moved by cam from the time the follower begins to rise till it reaches the highest point. Angle of Descent: Angle during which follower returns to its initial position. Angle of Action: It is the total angle moved by cam from the beginning of ascent to finish of descent. Under Cutting: The situation of a Cam Profile which has an inadequate curvature to provide correct follower movement, is known as under cutting.

Tangent Cam with Reciprocating Roller Follower In the tangent cam flanks of the cam are straight and tangential to the base circle and nose circle. Tangent cams are used for operating the inlet and exhaust values of I.C. engines. Displacement of the follower is given by yf = (r1 + r2) (1 – cos ) sec Velocity of the follower is given by vf = (r1 + r2) sin sec2 and acceleration of the follower is given by af = 2 (r1 + r2) (2 – cos2 ) sec2 where r1 = Minimum value of the radius of the cam r2 = Radius of the roller follower = Angle turned by the cam, from the beginning of the follower displacement = Angular velocity of the cam Circular Arc Cam with Flat-faced Follower In the circular arc cam the flanks of the cam connecting the base circle and nose are of convex circular arcs. Displacement of the flat faced follower is given by yf = (R – r 1) (1 – cos ) Velocity of the follower is given by vf = (R – r1) sin and acceleration of the follower is given by af = 2 (R – r1) cos where R = Radius of circular flank r1 = Minimum radius of the cam = Angle turned through by the cam = Angular velocity of the cam
BALANCING The main aim of balancing is to remove the effects of the inertial force due to acceleration of various parts of the engine. (a) Balancing of rotating masses The process of providing the second mass in order to counter act the effect of the centrifugal force of the first mass is called balancing of rotating masses. m1 2 r1=m2 2 r2 where = angular speed of the shaft m1= mass attached to rotating shaft m2 =balancing mass In order to put the system in complete balance it has to have (i) Static balancing (ii) Dynamic balancing (i) Static balancing: In this balancing the net dynamic force acting on the shaft is equal to zero. (ii) Dynamic balancing: In this balancing the net couple due to dynamic forces acting on the shaft is equal to zero along with the static balancing. If several masses revolve in different planes then in order to

It is usually not practical to eliminate shaking force and shaking couple completely, only we can do if we can reduce them. The reciprocating masses are only partially balanced.

So, statement (a) is incorrect and rest are correct. (d) The mobility or degrees of freedom of a plane structure is the number of inputs (i. e., number of independent coordinates required to determine the configuration or position of all the links of the mechanism w.r.t. fixed link. It is determined by Grubler’s equation as F = 3(n – 1) – 2j – h where F = degrees of freedom or movability of mechanism n = number of links j = number of lower pairs h = numbers of higher pairs Now, a 5-bar chain is the simplest statically indeterminate structure in which link 1 is fixed as shown. Hence to specify the position of all links, two coordinates 1 and 2 are required. So two inputs are required to give a unique output. So, F = 2 or the mobility is 2.

32. (a) Point P being rigidly connected to point 3, will trace same path as point 3, i.e. ellipse. 33. (c) A system of masses rotating in different parallel planes is in dynamic balance if the resultant force and the resultant couple are both to zero. This is known as dynamic balancing. 34. (c) A bicycle remains stable in running through a bond because of centrifugal action. 35. (d)
28. (c) Static balance is a balance of forces due to the action of gravity. Consider a rigid rotor with the shaft laid on horizontal parallel ways. if it is in static balance, the shaft will not on the ways whatever may be the angular position of the rotor. For this to happen, the centre of gravity of the system of masses must lie at the axis of rotation of the shaft. For the centre of gravity to be at the axis of the shaft, the horizontal and vertical moments of the rotors must be equal to zero Wr sin = 0, Wr cos = 0 The above equations are also true with the dynamic balance of the inertia forces. Thus if the conditions for the dynamic balance are met, the conditions for static balance are also met. 29. (c) For dynamically equivalent m1 + m2 = m ...(i) m1h1 = m2h2 ...(ii) m1h12

Instantaneous centre of a body rolling with sliding on a stationary curved surface lies (i) on the common normal at the point of contact, and also (ii) at the centre of curvature of the stationary surface 27.

1 5 Train value 3 The centre of gravity of the coupler link in a 4 bar mechanism would experience both linear and angular accelerations. According to Grashof’s law for a four bar mechanism. The sum of shortest and longest link lengths should not be greater than the sum of the remaining two link length. i.e. S + L P + Q An involve pinion and gear in mesh. If both have the same size of addendum, then there will be interference between the tip of the gear teeth and blank of renion. This is a phenomenon of interference.
