1/9
Valocity Analysis
1 The study involves the linear velocities of different points on different
parts of a mechanism as well as the angular velocities of the links
2 Velocity analysis is the prerequisite for acceleration analysis
Analytical method
Graphical method
3 For this study, a line or skeleton or configuration diagram is needed
4 Motion of link

Arc AA0 r δθ
Velocity of A relative to O = δt or vao = δt
When δt → 0, vao = r dθ dt

Velocity diagram construction procedure
1 Step 1 - Identify all fixed points and locate them as one point (Lower
case letters)
2 Step 2 - Draw the first known vector ab (vba = ωAB) perpendicular
to the link AB in the direction of rotation (vcb or bc and vcd dc are
unknown in magnitude)
3 Step 3 - To add vector bc, draw a line through point b and that should
be perpendicular to link BC
4 Step 4 - Through fixed point d, draw another line perpendicular to link
DC
5 Step 5 - Use intersection lines to locate another point
6 Mark arrowheads

Problem 1
In a four link mechanism shown in Figure, the dimensions of the links are : AB = 50 mm,
BC = 66 mm, CD = 56 mm and AD = 100 mm. At the instant when ∠DAB = 60◦ , the
link AB has an angular velocity of 10.5 rad/s in the counter-clockwise direction, determine
the
1 Velocity of point C
2 Velocity of point E on the link BC when BE = 40 mm
3 Angular velocities of the links BC and CD
4 Velocity of an offset point F on the link BC if BF = 45 mm, CF = 30 mm and BCF
is read clockwise
5 Velocity of an offset point G on the link CD if CG = 24 mm, DG = 44 mm and DCG
is read clockwise
6 Velocity of rubbing at pins A, B, C and D when the radii of the pins are 30, 40, 25

and 35 mm respectively

Problem 2
In a slider-crank mechanism shown in Figure, the crank is 480 mm long and rotates at 20
rad/s in the counter-clockwise direction. The length of the connecting rod is 1.6 m. When
the crank turns 60◦ from the inner dead centre, determine the

250 mm. The crank OA rotates at 150 rpm in the clockwise direction. Determine the
1 Velocity of the slider at D
2 Angular velocities of links QB and AB
3 Rubbing velocity at the pin B which is 40 mm in diameter

Problem 4
Figure shows the link mechanism of a quick return mechanism of the
slotted lever type, the various dimensions of which are OA = 400 mm,
OP = 200 mm, AR=700 mm, RS = 300 mm. For the configuration
shown, determine the velocity of the cutting tool at S and the angular
velocity of the link RS. The crank OP rotates at 210 rpm.
