THEORY OF MACHINE BY MA HELALY 1
Introduction:
Velocity
is important because:
1- It affects the time required to perform a given operation. 2- Power is the product of force and velocity. 3- Friction and wear on machine parts are also dependent on velocity. 4- Further, a determination of the velocities in a mechanism is required if an acceleration analysis is to be made.
Acceleration
is of interest because
of its effect on inertia forces, which in turn influence stresses in the parts of a machine, bearing loads, vibration, and noise

VELOCITIES
IN MECHANISMS BY METHOD OF
instant Centers
THEORY OF MACHINE BY MA HELALY 26
27
-Pin connection:
each pin connection is an instant center (12, 14 remain fixed, they are called fixed centers), (23, 34 are called moving centers, they move relative to the frame)
28
Any two links in a mechanism have motion relative to one another and have a common instantaneous center. The number of instant centers is equal to all possible combinations of two from the total numbers of links. Let, n = number of links. Then the number of instant centers is:
=(1) / 2!

e- Primary instantaneous centers: All instant centers which can be found by inspection are called primary instant centers, and then we can locate the remaining by applying Kennedy's theorem. Primary instant centers can be summarized as: 1- Instant center for pin connecting links. 2- Instant center for a sliding body. 3- Instant center for a rolling body. 4- Direct contact mechanisms: a- For sliding contact: intersection of the common normal and the line of centers. b- For rolling contact: at the point of contact. f- Circle diagram method for locating instantaneous centers: - All primary centers must be located first, - Points are laid out along a circle, each point represent a link, - All possible straight lines joining these points represent the instant centers, - First, all centers which have located are drawn in as solid lines, - The remaining are represented by dotted lines, - In order to locate these centers, find any two triangles which a dotted line completes, These two triangles represent two lines their intersection is the required instantaneous center, - After an instant center has been located, it is drawn in as a solid line on the circle diagram. (The two triangles must have a common side which is dotted).
THEORY OF MACHINE BY MA HELALY 30
From the last equation we can conclude that the angular-velocity ratio for any two links in a mechanism is inversely as the distances from the instant centers in the frame about which the links are rotating to the instant center which is common to the two links.
THEORY OF MACHINE BY MA HELALY 34
If the common instant center ij lies in-between 1i & 1j, then i and j are in opposite direction, and if not, then i and j are in the same direction.
THEORY OF MACHINE BY MA HELALY 35
Example 1:
For the Whitworth mechanism shown, determine the absolute velocity VC of the tool support, when the driving link OA rotates at a speed such that VA = 900 cm/s, as shown, also find the angular velocities of links QB and BC. OQ = 135, OA = 270, QB = 160, and BC = 550 mm.
