The kinematic and dynamic performances of piston-connecting rod mechanism of internal combustion engine (ICE) were analyzed in detail. Taking standard slider-crank mechanism as study object, the kinematic and dynamic parameters (velocity, acceleration, angular acceleration etc.) of linkage were derived. Under no any simplification, the calculating method of each physical parameter was provided. Meanwhile, taking the factual force applied to connecting rod into account, the graphical method of vector equation was used to solve each load imposed on connecting rod. The research works were believed to be beneficial to subsequent finite element analysis (stress and train fields, fatigue of connecting rod) and size optimization design of connecting rod.
SummaryThe piecewise linear approximation method is used to estimate the non‐linear functions, which is implemented by the shift‐and‐add architecture consisting of three blocks: “adder tree,” “multiplexer,” and “segment index encoder.” Compared with state of the art, the design flow in this letter enables the “adder tree” and “multiplexer” blocks can be shared by multiple nonlinear functions. In other words, the shift‐and‐add architecture can approximate multiple nonlinear functions with a slight overhead. The fused Log and Antilog converter demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed method. The Antilog function is implemented by the Log converter at the cost of 14% cell area and 6% delay.
Based on the analysis to the geometric relations of eccentric slider-crank mechanism (ESCM) at two limiting positions, a new and simple graphic method for design of ESCM was proposed in the paper. The method has the characteristics of legible concept, concise operation and good practicality. Utilizing the new method, the ESCM could be designed quickly under given conditions (slider stroke H, coefficient of travel speed variation K, the auxiliary conditions such as the length of crank a, length of connecting rod b and deflection distance e) without any calculation. Meanwhile, under given conditions (H, K) the alternative region of crank fixed center A, the possible feasible regions of crank length a and deflection distance e were discussed.
A detailed study on the calculating of planar mechanism degree of freedom-including gear pair was carried out in detail. By the analysis of the basis concept of constraint, the constraint type of bogus higher pair was introduced. Based on the constraint type, the classical Grübler-Kutzbach formula of planar mechanism degree of freedom is beyond doubt. In addition, the correct-ness and practicality the method for the calculation of the freedom of planer mechanism was proved. It is believed that the work will provided instructive guidance for the calculating of planar mecha-nism degree of freedom and design of planar gear-link mechanism.
