Kinematic and dynamic analysis and distribution of stress for four-item mechanism

Abstract

This paper presents a kinematic and dynamic analysis and distribution of the stress for four-item planar mechanism by means of the SolidWorks software. Graphic dependence of kinematic and dynamic magnitudes of some points is given in dependence on the angle of rotation of the driving item and in dependence on the time. Distribution of the stress in the items is presented in [Pa]. In relation to the kinematic and dynamic analysis and subsequent simulation of the planar as well as spatial mechanisms, it is great solution to use SolidWorks software program. The considerable advantage of this mentioned program is based on its simplicity from the aspect of modeling and moreover, it is important to point out that utilisation of the mentioned program leads to results which are precise and accurate in the case of the numerical solution of the equations in the whole magnitude referring to motion of mechanism while the given results are obtained in the graphic form.
