Movement Analysis of the Slider-Crank Mechanism Based on System Parameters in ADAMS/View

Abstract

Dynamic analysis is important in understanding the movement of a mechanism and the forces it transmits. In this study, an analysis was carried out for the change of the force transmitted by the slidercrank mechanism depending on the system parameters. The mechanism used in the study consists of crank, connecting rod, piston, and elastic element. Within the scope of the study, firstly, a model of the mechanism was created in the ADAMS/View environment. In this model, a force is applied to the mechanism through the crank limb. This applied force is transferred to the spring element in the model via motion transfer elements. The effect of the applied force was observed through simulations depending on the change of system parameters (stiffness and damping). In the simulations performed, it has been observed that as the spring stiffness changes, the mechanism moves oscillatory regardless of the force applied to the system, and as the damping increases, the mechanism moves more stable.
