Dynamic analysis of slider-crank mechanism with a cracked rod
Summary: The dynamical equation of the slider-crank mechanism is established by using Lagrange equation and Newton's second law. The slider-crank mechanism with an open crack rod is investigated and then establishes the equivalent mechanics model by a massless torsional spring to simulate the influence of the crack in the rod, and the mechanism of a cracked rod is divided into two subsystems. The dynamical equation of the slider-crank mechanism with a crack rod is established. Comparing the dynamic analysis results between with and without crack in the rod, the results show that the existence of the crack leads to a great change in the motion characteristics of the slider. The calculated maximum Lyapunov exponent is positive, which shows that the movement of the slider in the crank slider mechanism with a cracked rod is chaotic.
