A linkageis a kinematic chain in which one of the links is
fixed to the ground which usually is the frame.
A linkage permits relative motion between its links andmay have one or more degree of freedom.
A linkage with zero or negative degree of freedom is a
structure which does not allow any relative motionbetween the links.
2.1. FOURBAR LINKAGE
Fig 2.1 below shows four bar linkage The conventional numbering system is to label the
ground or frame as link 1, & then to number linksclockwise around the mechanism loop

Link 1: is the frameor ground; generally it is stationary.
Link 2: is the driver; may rotate or oscillate.
Link 3: is the coupleror connecting rodand undergoesgeneral plane motion.
Link 4: is the followeror driven element, may rotate or oscillate depending on the rotary or oscillatory
motion of link 2, and on link dimensions.
These four bar links are joined by four revolute joints.

Four bar linkages are able to produce a variety of non-uniform motion and can transmit large force.
The links of a four-bar mechanism should beproportional in such a way that lookingis avoided.
PositionABO4 shows the case of locking.
For such a position link four can move in any of the twodirections as indicated in the figure.

2.1.1 Transmission Angle
The angle between the coupler 3 and the output link 4(follower) is called the transmission angle.
The equation for the transmission angle can be derivedas follows. From fig 2.3

From which we obtain the transmission angle.
In general, for good force transmission to the output link,the transmission angle should be in the range of
40o

2.1.2 Motion of a Four-Bar Mechanism
There are three basic types of motion which a four-bar linkage
can produce. Crank-rocker:- to indicate that link 2 rotates and link 4 oscillates;
Double crank:- to indicate that both the driver and followerrotate;
Double-rocker:- to indicate that both the driver and followeroscillate through certain angles.
To determine whether a four-bar link will operate as one of theabove motion types, Grashoffs law is applied which isstated as follows:
i) If the sum of the length of the longest and shortest links isless than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the other twolinks, then
a) Two different crank rockerswill be formed when the shortestlink is the crank and either of the adjacent links is the fixed link.

b) a double crankwill be formed when the shortest link is the fixed link;
c) a double rocker will be formed when the link opposite the shortest
link is the fixed link.ii) If the sum of the lengths of the longest and shortest links is
greater than the sum of the lengths of the other two, only adouble-rockermechanism will be formed.

2.2 SLIDER-CRANK MECHANISM
Slider-crank mechanismis basically a four-bar mechanism
with three revolute joints, or turning pairs and a prismatic jointor a sliding pair.
In the slider crank mechanism, commonly
- link 1 is the frame, considered to be fixed;- link 2is the crankwhich is the driver (rotating motion);
- link 3is the connecting rod, the link b/n the driver & follower;
- link 4is the sliderwhich is the driven element (reciprocating)

The slider crank mechanism converts rotary motion intoreciprocating motion and vice-versa.
It is commonly applied in internal combustion engines. During a cycle there are two dead points A and A in which
the crank and the connecting rod are in line.
at the dead positions the crank can move in either direction unlessconstrained by an external force.
In case of an engine the external constraint is provided by the remainingcylinders and a flywheel.
2.2.1 Inversion of the Slider-Crank Mechanism
As many inversions are obtained as the number of links in theoriginal mechanism
N. B. that inversion of a mechanism does not change therelative motion of the link, however, the absolute motion isaltered.

2.4 QUICK-RETURN MECHANISM
Give a quick return-stroke of the followerfor a constant
angular velocity of the driver. The ratio of the crank angle for the working stroke to that
of the return stroke is known as the time-ratio.
The time ratio for quick return mechanisms is always
greater than unity to give a slower cutting stroke and afaster return stroke.

2.4.1 Crank-Shaper Mechanism
The figure below shows schematic
representation of six-bar crank-shapermechanism.
Links 1-4 of this mechanism form avariation of the slider-crankmechanism in which the crank is held
fixed.
For the direction of motion indicated inthe figure,
the cutting stroke occures when the
crank rotates from O2Ato O2Athrough angle ,
the idle stroke being when the crankmoves from O2Ato O2Athrough theangle .

line at one point in their motion.

2.5.1 Stone Crusher
The stone crusher shown uses twotoggle linkages in series
=> high mechanical advantage.
When links 2 and 3 are in toggle,links 4 & 5 are also in toggle
=> produce high crushing force needed.

2.6. Straight Line Mechanism
These are mechanisms which can generate straight lines from rotarymotion.
Point on one of the links moves in a straight line with out the need ofguides.
Converts rotary motion into straight line motion.
2.6.1 Watt mechanism Produces an approximate straight line motion
For equal lengths of links 2 & 4, the tracing point P traces anapproximate straight line.
This will happen if AP/PB = O4B/O2A.

2.8. INTERMITTENT MOTION MECHANISM
Converts continuous motion intointermittent motion.
Common examples are the Geneva wheel& ratchet mechanism.
2.8.1. Geneva Mechanism.
Provides intermittent rotary motion.
During one cycle of the crank, the Geneva
wheel rotates through fraction part of arevolution.
The circular segment attached to the cranklocks the wheel against rotation when theroller is not engaged.
Angle is half the angle subtended byadjacent slots.

To avoid skidding or slipping of the wheels sideways, the fronttwo wheels must turn about the same instantaneous center Cwhich lies on the axis of the back wheels.
This avoids undue wear in the tires. This is also the condition for correct steering
this will be satisfied if > . Where: is inner wheel turning angleis outer wheel turning angle.
the condition to be satisfied is obtained as follows.
And the condition for correct steering is obtained to be
this is the fundamental equation for correct steering which, ifsatisfied, eliminates skidding of the front wheel.
