Slider Crank Mechanism

Objective: To Simulate the slider-crank mechanism for the cases given below.

Case 1: Run the simulation as mentioned in the video

Case 2: Create contacts between the various slider-crank components and assign material properties to the geometry with frictional coefficient as given below,

Geometry

Materials

Coefficient of friction

Crank to Handle 1

Structural steel - Low Carbon Steel

0.3

Handle 1 to Handle 2

Low Carbon Steel - Grey Cast iron

0.23

Handle 2 to Fixture

Gray cast iron - Gray cast iron

0.15

Results and Deliverables

• Obtain total deformation, equivalent stress, and total velocity generated by crank.

• Also, find the frictional stress generated due to friction for the various contacts in the model..
