RAFA acceleration review

Change in direction of V
Change in magnitude of V

Review RAFA acceleration Normal component

Review RAFA acceleration Tangential component
Change in magnitude of V

Relative acceleration applied to center of gravity of a link
aB = aA + aB/A
Apply to center of gravity point G3 on complex motion link 3
aB = aA + aB/A replace B with G3
aG3 = aA + aG3/A

Process
4.write and apply relative acceleration equation
aB = aA + aB/A
Expanded version
aBn + aBt = aAn + aAt + aB/An+ aB/At
Each part has rotational motion
Each part has normal and tangential components
Example
After step 4 we know w2 w3 w4 and a2 a3 a4
Find a of G2, G3, G4
Link 2 is simple RAFA
aG2 is given as aG2n + aG2t
aG2n = r w22 points G2 to O2
aG2t = r a2 points perpendicular to G2 O2,

Example steps
1. do velocity analysis to get w’s
(verify correct answer by alternate method?)
2. solve relative acceleration equation for this mechanism
aB = aA + aB/A
aB direction along slide, no n and t components, w = 0, a = 0, pure translation, no rotation of link 4
aA as before with n and t components
aB/A as before with n and t components

Example steps
3. knowing aB , aA as normal and tangential components, and aB/A as normal and tangential components, calculate
a3 = aB/At / rB/A
Determine aG2 as n and t components for RAFA motion
aG3 by using relative acceleration equation
because link 3 is complex motion
aG3 = aA + aG3/A
aG3/A = aG3/An+ aG3/At
Combined
aG3 = aAn+ aAt + aG3/An+ aG3/At

Coriolis acceleration
When a slide joint is present on a rotating link there is an additional component of acceleration called Coriolis acceleration
Consider first constant velocity of slide in slide joint
Does velocity vector change?
Yes direction changes due to rotation, even if magnitude is constant
Coriolis acceleration
Direction of coriolis is perpendicular to V slide
Magnitude of coriolis is 2 V w
Also V slide may not be constant, leading to a slide along same line of action as V slide
Still we have normal and tangential accelerations due to RAFA link that contains the slide
Result: 4 components of acceleration!
