Numericals on Klein's Construction

-
Hello everyone , today i am going to solve some numericals on Klein's Construction. Previously i have explained you how to apply this method on single slider crank mechanism. If you are first time here then i insist you to view the first part on this topic here : farooq blogs kleins construction

In first numerical there is center of gravity of connecting rod given and we have to calculate the angular acceleration of CG of connecting rod. In second numerical the crank length and connecting rod are given in the form of stroke and obliquity ratio , first we have to calculate length of crank and connecting rod .

Ques 1. Determine the velocity and acceleration of each link in a single slider crank mechanism by using Klein's Construction method .Also determine the acceleration of center of gravity of connecting rod.
Crank length= 90 mm
Connecting Rod length= 450 mm
Crank angle from IDC= 30 deg.
Center of gravity of connecting rod from crankpin= 180 mm
Speed N=600 rpm in Clockwise direction.

Ans.
as the given dimensions are quite large we need to scale it down.
let 450 mm=15 cm on paper
and 90 mm= 3 cm on paper
hence we have scaled down by 3

    ω=2πN/60
⇒ ω=2*3.14*600/60= 62.83 rad/s

This is configuration diagram of given question

For simplicity i have drawn velocity and acceleration diagram separately.

There is an additional information of center of gravity of connecting rod in question .
Center of gravity of connecting rod from crankpin= 180 mm
as per our scale
180 mm=180 mm/3=6 cm from crankpin .
locate CG at 6 cm from crankpin A.

to find acceleration of center of gravity of connecting rod

join the ends of radial and tangential acceleration ie join A with N and you will get resultant acceleration of connecting rod.
through cg draw a horizontal line parallel to line of stroke to cut previously drawn line AN. name that point g.
the length Og will give you cceleration of center of gravity of connecting rod .

The answers are
velocity of connecting rod.=4.929 m/s
velocity of piston.=3.3196 m/s
angular velocity of connecting rod.=10.953 rad/s

radial acceleration of connecting rod.=54.243 m/s៱2
tangential acceleration of connecting rod.=173.03 m/s៱2
acceleration of piston.=344.408 m/s៱2
angular acceleration of connecting rod.=384.51 rad/s៱2
acceleration of CG of connecting rod=339.553 m/s


Ques 2. In a single slider crank mechanism having stroke length of 30 cm and obliquity ratio of 4. angular velocity of crank is 52 rad/sec  in anticlockwise direction and crank angle from IDC= 48.45 deg. Determine by using Klein's Construction method .

1. velocity of slider
2. acceleration of slider
3. angular velocity of connecting rod
4. angular acceleration of connecting rod
Crank angle from IDC= 48.45 deg.

Ans.
        the stroke length = 2 x crank length
                              2*r=30 cm
⇒    crank length r = 15 cm
     
       obliquity ratio n =length of  connecting rod / length of crank=l /r.
       4=l/15
⇒    l= 4*15= 60 cm.

as the given dimensions are quite large we need to scale it down.
let 60 mm=20 cm on paper
and 15 mm= 5 cm on paper
hence we have scaled down by 3

Notch- is a device used for measuring the rate of flow or discharge of a liquid through  small channel or tank. Weir- is a concrete or masonry structure, placed in an open channel over which the flow occurs. It is form of vertical wall , with the sharp edge at the top, running all the way across the open channel. Notches Weirs 1. A notch may be defined as an opening provided in one side of a tank or reservoir,with upstream liquid level below the top edge of opening. 1. A weir may be defined as a structure constructed across a river or canal to store water on the upstream side. 2. The sheet of water flowing through a notch is called Nappe.  2. The sheet of water flowing over a weir is called Vein.  3. The bottom edge of a notch is called Crest. 3. The bottom edge of a weir is called Sill. 4. Usually made of metallic plates.  4. Weir is a concrete or masonry structure 5. Measures small discharge of small stream, lake or canal. 5. It...

NPTEL- provides E-learning through online web and video courses in various streams. hello enthusiasts ,many of you are willing to join NPTEL courses and looking on google for it. So let me tell it for all of you . NPTEL What is NPTEL? The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was initiated by seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee) along with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2003. Five core disciplines were identified, namely, civil engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering and mechanical engineering and 235 courses in web/video format were developed in this phase. The main goal of NPTEL Phase II (2009-14) was to build on the engineering and core science courses launched previously in NPTEL Phase I. An additional 600 web and video courses were created in all major branches of engineering, physical sciences a...

Klein's Construction - is an graphical method to find velocity and acceleration of reciprocating parts of steam engine or internal combustion engine . In Klein's Construction the velocity and acceleration diagrams are made on configuration diagram itself. The line that represents the crank in the configuration diagram also represents the velocity and acceleration of its moving end in the velocity and acceleration diagrams respectively. By using this method we can find the velocity and acceleration of crank,connecting rod ,piston. Klein's Construction This method is applicable only if α of crank=0 or ω of crank=constant Method of obtaining velocity and acceleration  from the given values of crank length(r) and its angular velocity(ω) calculate crank velocity by  crank velocity Vc=r*ω crank acceleration Ac=r*ω*ω if dimensions of crank and connecting rod are such that they can be drawn on paper then there is no need to scale down the dimenions. if ...
