Lab 1 in EMT 1220 involved an in-depth study of the Slider-Crank Mechanism, focusing on its transformation of uniform rotational motion into linear reciprocating motion. The primary objective was to understand and analyze this mechanical system both theoretically and through simulation. The lab was structured into several key parts: the first part involved using an online simulator to visualize and measure the motion of the crank and slider, specifically determining the stroke (maximum displacement) and its relationship to the crank length. The second part required plotting the crank angle against the slider displacement, followed by an analysis of the data to identify where the slider reaches maximum and minimum velocities and accelerations. Key goals included verifying the theoretical relationship between crank length and stroke, accurately plotting motion curves, and understanding the dynamic behavior of the slider-crank mechanism. This lab provided practical insights into the physics of mechanical linkages, essential for applications in engineering design and analysis.
