JNTU B.Tech II KINEMATICS OF MACHINES Previous Question Paper (May - 2019 - R15)
Part A is compulsory which carries 25 marks. Answer all questions in Part A. Part B consists of 5 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each question carries 10 marks and may have a, b, c as sub questions.
Part A
How linkages, mechanism and structures are obtained.
Answer
A linkage is formed by connecting rigid bodies (links) with kinematic pairs. A mechanism is a linkage where one link is fixed and motion is transmitted to produce a specific output. A structure is a mechanism with zero degrees of freedom, meaning it is a rigid assembly incapable of relative motion between links.
What is the rule to find DOF of a spatial mechanism?
Answer
The degree of freedom (DOF) for a spatial mechanism is determined by the Kutzbach-Grubler criterion, expressed as:
where n is the total number of links, and j₁, j₂, j₃, j₄, j₅ represent the number of joints with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 degrees of freedom respectively.

The figure 2 shows the mechanism of a pneumatic riveter. The arms AB and BC are each 7 in. long, link BE is 20 in. and link DC 13 in. long. The centre line of the piston is horizontal and 8 in. below A. When AC is vertical, BE makes an angle of 120 with the vertical. Find the velocity ratio between D and the ram E when AC is vertical, and the efficiency of the machine if a load of 2500N on the piston causes a thrust of 5 kN at E.

A gas engine has a stroke of 425 mm and a connecting rod 1m long. The crankshaft carries two flywheels each of which weights 6kN and has a radius of gyration of 675 mm. When the crank makes an angle of 30 deg with the idc on the firing stroke, there is an unbalanced turning moment on the crankshaft of 8100N.m in the direction of motion of the crank. If at this instant the angular velocity of the crank is 8.38 rad/s (80 rpm) find the acceleration of the piston and angular acceleration of the connecting rod.

Answer
Sign in to view the complete answer paper.
Draw the displacement time and velocity time diagrams for a follower in order to satisfy the following conditions. The stroke of the follower is 1 inch. The outward stroke takes place with SHM during 90 degrees of cam rotation and follower stroke with SHM during 75 degrees of cam rotation. The follower is to dwell in the out position for 45 degrees of cam rotation and cam turns at uniform speed of 800 rpm.

A bevel gear epicyclic is shown in figure 3. The wheel A is keyed to the driving shaft, the wheel F to the driven shaft and the wheel E is fixed. The arm G which supports the inclined shaft is free to turn about the common axis of the driving and the driven shafts, and the wheels B, C & D are keyed to the inclined shaft F, having 74 teeth. Find the speed of F in terms of the speed of A. What is the speed ratio when E has 81 teeth?
