Dynamics Report
Your project with be a report, in PDF format. The maximum length of the report will be 6 pages. This report will detail how you would model local systems or machines using the dynamic analysis tools from this class. Think of this as a research project to create an exam question, based on real-world situations, for future students in this course. Your systems must satisfy the following requirements : – could be modeled as a slider-crank or 4-bar mechanism. – would analyze the system using work-energy or impulse-momentum (including impact) strategies. -if you can find one system to satisfy both, that’s fine. Otherwise, you may find multiple systems, with a 3-page max per system. Your report must include: – pictures of your system(s) – description of your system(s) – schematic of the system(s) including slider-crank or 4-bar model (if applicable), free body diagram, and kinematic diagram. – problem statement indicating what you would like to solve, model, or track. – problem-solving strategy for the problem, including the outline or plan of solving the problem. This does NOT need to include a numeric solution, but should include: + vector diagrams or frame of reference indicating desired coordinate system (i.e. Cartesian, polar…) + all assumptions for the system (e.g. frictionless surface, no air resistance, constant acceleration…) + balance equations to use and how to apply them (i.e. using work-energy….what would be the KE states, what would be the PE states, and what would be the nonconservative forces).
