3. Motion of the plate: is it translation or rotation? Curvilinear translation Rotation

4. Consider rigid body in translation: • direction of any straight line inside the body is constant, • all particles forming the body move in parallel lines. • For any two particles in the body, • Differentiating with respect to time, All particles have the same velocity. • Differentiating with respect to time again, All particles have the same acceleration. Translation

5. Angular velocity, , is obtained by taking the time derivative of angular displacement:  = d/dt (rad/s) + Similarly, angular acceleration is  = d2/dt2 = d/dt or  = (d/d) + rad/s2 Rotation About a Fixed Axis When a body rotates about a fixed axis, any point P in the body travels along a circular path. The angular position of P is defined by q. The change in angular position, d, is called the angular displacement, with units of either radians or revolutions. They are related by 1 revolution = 2 radians

6. Velocity vector of the particle P is tangent to the path with magnitude • The same result is obtained from Rotation About a Fixed Axis: Velocity • Consider rotation of rigid body about a fixed axis AA’

7. Differentiating to determine the acceleration, • Acceleration of P is combination of two vectors, Rotation About a Fixed Axis: Acceleration

8. Velocity of any point P of the slab, • Acceleration of any point P of the slab, • Resolving the acceleration into tangential and normal components, Rotation About a Fixed Axis: Representative Slab • Consider the motion of a representative slab in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

9. Examples

10. Recall • Uniform Rotation, a = 0: • Uniformly Accelerated Rotation, a = constant: Equations Defining the Rotation of a Rigid Body About a Fixed Axis • Motion of a rigid body rotating around a fixed axis is often specified by the type of angular acceleration.

11. Sample Problem 5.1 Cable C has a constant acceleration of 9 in/s2 and an initial velocity of 12 in/s, both directed to the right. Determine (a) the number of revolutions of the pulley in 2 s, (b) the velocity and change in position of the load B after 2 s, and (c) the acceleration of the point D on the rim of the inner pulley at t = 0.

12. Sample Problem 5.1 • The tangential velocity and acceleration of D are equal to the velocity and acceleration of C. • Apply the relations for uniformly accelerated rotation to determine velocity and angular position of pulley after 2 s.

13. Magnitude and direction of the total acceleration, Sample Problem 5.1 • Evaluate the initial tangential and normal acceleration components of D.

14. General Plane Motion A combination of translation & rotation

15. General Plane Motion Pure translation, followed by rotation about A2 (to move B'1 to B' 2) Motion of B w.r.t. A is pure rotation, i.e. B draws a circle centered at A Any plane motion can be represented as a translation of an arbitrary reference point A and a rotation about A.

16. Absolute and Relative Velocity For any two points lying on the same rigid body: Note: = distance from A to B Equation can be represented graphically by a velocity diagram

17. Absolute and Relative Velocity Assuming that the velocity vA of end A is known, determine the velocity vB of end B and the angular velocity w. Locus for vB Locus for vB/A vA vB q vB/A The direction of vB and vB/A are known. Complete the velocity diagram.

18. Absolute and Relative Velocity in Plane Motion • Selecting point B as the reference point and solving for the velocity vA of end A and the angular velocity w leads to an equivalent velocity triangle. • vA/B has the same magnitude but opposite sense of vB/A. The sense of the relative velocity is dependent on the choice of reference point. • Angular velocity w of the rod in its rotation about B is the same as its rotation about A. Angular velocity is not dependent on the choice of reference point.

23. Sample Problem 15.3 • The velocity is obtained from the crank rotation data. • The direction of the absolute velocity is horizontal. The direction of the relative velocity is perpendicular to BD. Locus for vD/B Locus for vD

24. Sample Problem 15.3 • Determine the velocity magnitudes from the vector triangle drawn to scale.

25. Instantaneous Center of Rotation For any body undergoing planar motion, there always exists a point in the plane of motion at which the velocity is instantaneously zero (if it were rigidly connected to the body). This point is called the instantaneous center of rotation, or C. It may or may not lie on the body! If the location of this point can be determined, the velocity analysis can be simplified because the body appears to rotate about this point at that instant.

26. Instantaneous Center of Rotation To locate the C, we use the fact that the velocity of a point on a body is always perpendicular to the position vector from C to that point. If the velocity at two points A and B are known, C lies at the intersection of the perpendiculars to the velocity vectors through A and B . If the velocity vectors at A and B are perpendicular to the line AB, C lies at the intersection of the line AB with the line joining the extremities of the velocity vectors at A and B. If the velocity vectors are equal & parallel, C is at infinity and the angular velocity is zero (pure translation)

27. Instantaneous Center of Rotation If the velocity vA of a point A on the body and the angular velocity w of the body are known, C is located along the line drawn perpendicular to vA at A, at a distance r = vA/w from A. Note that the C lies up and to the right of A since vA must cause a clockwise angular velocity w about C.

28. Velocity Analysis using Instantaneous Center The velocity of any point on a body undergoing general plane motion can be determined easily if the instantaneous center is located. Since the body seems to rotate about the IC at any instant, the magnitude of velocity of any arbitrary point is v = w r, where r is the radial distance from the IC to that point. The velocity’s line of action is perpendicular to its associated radial line. Note the velocity has a direction which tends to move the point in a manner consistent with the angular rotation direction.
