Engineering Statics- Baseline Mechanism Problem .M File ONLY!

Part A, Baseline Mechanism

You are on a design team working on a robotic mechanism and have been assigned the analysis of this part of the mechanism. The part for you to analyze is shown below. This machine has an actuator at point A that needs to apply a couple at point B of up to 2.5 N m. The angle range at point B is from 20 to 120 degrees. You need to determine the maximum torque (couple) required of the actuator at point A and the minimum length of rod AC. The angle range for the actuator at A should also be reported.

You will plot the results for the length of AD, the force of the collar on AC at D and the required moment at A to keep the mechanism in equilibrium as functions of the angle at B. The approximate solutions with the angle at B equal to 20 degrees are:

• Length of AD = 78 mm
• Force of the collar on rod AC at D = 17 N
• Couple at A = 1.3 N m

Part B, Modified Mechanism

The lead designer would like to move the actuator at A 100 mm to the left. You need to analyze the new mechanism with the distance from A to B now modified to 250 mm.

Plot and discuss your results and recommendations on the modified mechanism.

Show us what you've written so far to try to solve the problem and ask a specific question about where you're having difficulty and we may be able to provide some guidance.

If you're not sure where to start because you're not familiar with MATLAB, I recommend taking the MATLAB Onramp tutorial to learn how to work with MATLAB.

If you're not sure where to start because you're uncertain about the engineering principles, you should probably speak to your professor and/or your teaching assistant.

Okay or we could try answering the question. I am at work and cant upload the work I've already completed. Thanks for the help.
