INTRODUCTION TO THEORY OF MACHINES AND FUNDAMENTALS
THEORY OF MACHINES
INTRODUCTION
Theory of Machines may be defined as that branch of engineering science, which deals
with the study of relative motion between the various parts of machine, and forces which
act on them. The knowledge of this subject is very essential for an engineer in designing
the various parts of a machine.
Theory of machines and mechanisms is an applied science which is used to understand
the relationship between the geometry and motions of the parts of the machine or
mechanism and the forces which produces these motions.
SUB- DIVISIONS OF THEORY OF MACHINES
2. 2
Various structures and machines – bridges, cranes, airplanes, ships,
etc. will be found, upon examination, to consist of numerous parts or
members connected together in such a way as to perform a useful
function and to withstand externally applied loads.
• Axial Tension
• Axial Compression
• Torsion
• bending
The above said four basic types of loading of a member are frequently
encountered in both structural and machine design problems.
They may be said to constitute essentially the principal subject matter
of Strength of materials.
INTRODUCTION
3. 3
Analysis and design of any structure or machine involve two major
questions:
1. Is the structure strong enough to withstand the loads applied to it?
2. Is it stiff enough to avoid excessive deformations and deflections?
In statics, the members of a structure were treated as rigid bodies; but actually
all materials are deformable and this property will henceforth be taken into
account.
Thus Strength of materials may be regarded as the statics of deformable or
elastic bodies.
Both the strength and stiffness of a structural member are functions of its size
and shape and also of certain physical properties of the material from which it
is made. These physical properties of materials are largely determined from
experimental studies of their behavior in a testing machine.
The study of Strength of materials is aimed at predicting just how these
geometric and physical properties of a structure will influence its behavior
under service conditions.

MECHANICS: is an area of science
concerned with the behavior of physical
bodies when subjected to forces or
displacements, and the subsequent effects
of the bodies on their environment.
5. 5
Statics: is that branch of theory of machines which deals with the forces and their effects,
while the machine parts are rest.
Dynamics: is that branch of theory of machines which deals with the forces and their effects, while
acting upon the machine parts in motion.
6. 6
Kinematics: is that branch of theory of
machines which is responsible to study
the motion of bodies without reference
to the forces which are cause this
motion, i.e it’s relate the motion
variables (displacement, velocity,
acceleration) with the time.
Kinetics: is that branch of theory of
machines which is responsible to relate
the action of forces on bodies to their
resulting motion.

The measurement of physical quantities is one of the most important operations in engineering. Every quantity is
measured in terms of some arbitrary, but internationally accepted units, called fundamental units. All physical
quantities, met within this subject, are expressed in terms of the following three fundamental quantities:
1. Length (L or l),
2. Mass (M or m), and
3. Time (t).
Derived Units:
Some units are expressed in terms of fundamental units known as derived units, e.g., the units
of area, velocity, acceleration, pressure, etc.
Systems of Units:
There are only four systems of units, which are commonly used and universally recognized.
These are known as:
1. C.G.S. units, 2. F.P.S units, 3. M.K.S. units and 4. S.I. units.
1. C.G.S. Units:
In this system, the fundamental units of length, mass and time are centimeter, gram and second respectively. The C.G.S.
units are known as absolute units or physicist's units.
2. F.P.S. Units:
In this system, the fundamental units of length, mass and time are foot, pound and second respectively.
3. M.K.S. Units:
In this system, the fundamental units of length, mass and time are meter, kilogram and second respectively. The M.K.S.
units are known as gravitational units or engineer's units.
4. International System of Units (S.I. Units):
In this system of units, the fundamental units are meter (m), kilogram (kg) and second (s) respectively. But there is a
slight variation in their derived units.
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
8. 8
FORCE
A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.
Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects.
When the interaction ceases, the two objects no longer experience the force.
10. 10
Balanced and unbalanced forces
There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the
Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The
other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes
referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the
book.
Since these two forces are of equal
magnitude and in opposite directions, they
balance each other. The book is said to be
at equilibrium. There is no unbalanced
force acting upon the book and thus the
book maintains its state of motion.
Now consider a book sliding from left to
right across a tabletop.
The force of gravity pulling downward and the force of the table pushing upwards on the book
are of equal magnitude and opposite directions. These two forces balance each other. Yet there
is no force present to balance the force of friction. As the book moves to the right, friction acts
to the left to slow the book down. There is an unbalanced force; and as such, the book changes
its state of motion. The book is not at equilibrium and subsequently accelerates. Unbalanced
forces cause accelerations.
11. 11
Applied forces
Force is a vector quantity. Vector is a physical quantity described by magnitude
(meaning the strength of the force) and direction. Applied force means the force with
which an object has been pushed or pulled by another object.
Inertia forces
A force opposite in direction to an accelerating force acting on a body and equal to the
product of the accelerating force and the mass of the body.
Frictional forces
Frictional force is force that acts between two surfaces that are moving past another.
The applied forces act from outside on the mechanism. The inertia forces arise due to
the mass of the links of the mechanism and their acceleration. Frictional forces are the
outcome of friction in the joints. A pair of action and reaction forces acting on a body is
called constraint forces.
In the design of mechanisms, the following forces are generally considered
13. 13
NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
FIRST LAW
An every body continuous in its
state of rest or of uniform motion
in a straight line unless an
external forces acts on it.
SECOND LAW
The rate of change of
momentum of a body is directly
proportional to the force acting
on it and takes place in the
direction of force.
THIRD LAW
To every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction.
14. 14
Kinematics of motion is the relative motion of bodies without consideration of the forces
causing the motion. Types:
Plane Motion
Rectilinear Motion
Curvilinear Motion
KINEMATICS OF MOTION
Plane Motion
When the motion of a body is confined to only
one plane, the motion is said to be plane
motion. The plane motion may be either
rectilinear or curvilinear
Rectilinear Motion
It is the simplest type of motion and is along a
straight line path. Such a motion is also known
as translator motion.
Curvilinear Motion
It is the motion along a curved path. Such a
motion, when confined to one plane, is called
plane curvilinear motion.

Linear Displacement
It may be defined as the distance moved by a body with respect to a
certain fixed point. The displacement may be along a straight or a
curved path.
Linear Velocity
It may be defined as the rate of change of linear displacement of a body
with respect to the time.
Linear Acceleration
It may be defined as the rate of change of linear velocity of a body with
respect to the time. It is also a vector quantity.

Static force analysis
When the inertia effect due to the mass of the machine components are neglected in the
analysis of the mechanism
Dynamic force analysis
When the inertia forces are considered in the analysis of the mechanism
FORCE ANALYSIS
Inertia force
A force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction and collinear with the impressed force
producing the acceleration, is known as inertia force.
Inertia force = – m x a
Inertia torque
The inertia torque is an imaginary torque, which when applied upon the rigid body, brings it
in equilibrium position. It is equal to the accelerating couple in magnitude but opposite in
direction.
Inertia Torque = -I x α
D-Alembert’s principle
D-Alembert’s principle states that the resultant force acting on a body together with the
reversed effective force (or inertia force), are in equilibrium.

ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION OF THE PISTON
Consider the motion of a crank and
connecting rod of a reciprocating
steam engine as shown in Fig.
Let OC be the crank and PC the
connecting rod.
Let the crank rotates with angular
velocity of ω rad/s and the crank
turns through an angle θ from the
inner dead centre (briefly written as
I.D.C).
Let x be the displacement of a
reciprocating body P from I.D.C. after
time t seconds, during which the
crank has turned through an angle θ
Let
l=Length of connecting rod between the centres,
r=Radius of crank or crank pin circle,
φ=Inclination of connecting rod to the line of stroke
PO, And
n=Ratio of length of connecting rod to the radius of
crank = l/r.
45. Equivalent Dynamical System
• In order to determine the motion of a rigid body, under the
action of external forces, it is usually convenient to replace
the rigid body by two masses placed at a fixed distance apart,
in such a way that
• 1.the sum of their masses is equal to the total mass of the
body
• 2. the centre of gravity of the two masses coincides with that
of the body ; and
• 3. the sum of mass moment of inertia of the masses about
their centre of gravity is equal to the mass moment of inertia
of the body.
• When these three conditions are satisfied, then it is said to be
an equivalent dynamical system 45
46. 46
This equation gives the essential condition of placing the two masses, so that the
system becomes dynamical equivalent. The distance of one of the masses (i.e. either
l1 or l2) is arbitrary chosen and the other distance is obtained from equation
When the radius of gyration kG is not known, then the position of the second mass
may be obtained by considering the body as a compound pendulum.
47. • This means that the second mass is situated at the centre of
oscillation or percussion of the body, which is at a distance of

48. 1.The connecting rod of a gasoline engine is 300 mm long between its centres. It has a
mass of 15 kg and mass moment of inertia of 7000 kg-mm2. Its centre of gravity is at
200 mm from its small end centre. Determine the dynamical equivalent two-mass
system of the connecting rod if one of the masses is located at the small end centre.

Solution. Given : l = 300 mm ; m = 15 kg; I = 7000 kg-mm2
l1 = 200 mm

49. 2. A connecting rod is suspended from a point 25 mm above the centre of
small end, and 650 mm above its centre of gravity, its mass being 37.5 kg. When
permitted to oscillate, the time period is found to be 1.87 seconds. Find the dynamical
equivalent system constituted of two masses, one of which is located at the small end
centre.

Given : h = 650 mm = 0.65 m ; l1 = 650 – 25 = 625 mm = 0.625 m ; m = 37.5 kg ; tp = 1.87 s
We know that for a compound pendulum, time period of oscillation (tp),

Solution
51. Correction Couple to be Applied to Make Two Mass
System Dynamically Equivalent
• When considering the inertia forces on the connecting rod in
a mechanism, we replace the rod by two masses arbitrarily.
• A little consideration will show that when two masses are
placed arbitrarily*, then the conditions (i) and (ii) will only be
satisfied.
• But the condition (iii) is not possible to satisfy. This means that
the mass moment of inertia of these two masses placed
arbitrarily, will differ than that of mass moment of inertia of
the rigid body.

The difference of the torques T' is known as correction couple. This couple must be
applied, when the masses are placed arbitrarily to make the system dynamical
equivalent

61. A vertical engine running at 1200 r.p.m. with a stroke of 110 mm, has a connecting rod 250 mm
between centres and mass 1.25 kg. The mass centre of the connecting rod is 75 mm from the big
end centre and when suspended as a pendulum from the gudgeon pin axis makes 21 complete
oscillations in 20 Seconds. 1. Calculate the radius of gyration of the connecting rod about an
axis through its mass centre. 2. When the crank is at 40° from the top dead centre and the piston
is moving downwards, find analytically, the acceleration of the piston and the angular
acceleration of the connecting rod. Hence find the inertia torque exerted on the crankshaft. To
make the two-mass system to be dynamically equivalent to the connecting rod, necessary
correction torque has to be applied and since the engine is vertical, gravity effects are to be
considered.
