Part VII: KinetoStatic force analysis assuming low dynamic effects:
Kinetostatic force analysis provides a direct method to solve for forces in machines. In this
method, we will assume dynamic effects in the mechanism are minimal. Thus, we can solve for
the forces in a mechanism based the velocity analysis. This process is based on the principles of
conservation of energy (or power here since we assume the constraints are not time-dependent)
and superposition.
Consider the mechanism as a black box as shown in the figure below. Force and motions are
applied at the input and force and motion occurs at the output
input
output
βblack-box Mechanismβ
The following assumptions apply to this system:
1) Problem is treated in an instantaneous sense
2) Ignore dynamic effects in the mechanism
3) System is conservative - Energy is not stored or created in the mechanism
4) Mechanism efficiency is given as ο¨
Thus, the input power equals the output power:
Pin = Pout
With the power instantaneously defined as,
π =π
βπ―
For linear forces/velocity
π = πβπ
For rotational forces/velocity
Further, given
π= π«×π
π―=π×π«
And, from triple scalar product:
a.bxc = b.cxa = c.axb

It can be shown these are equal statements.
A relationship between input and output motion and force is then given as:
If we assume that the vin is found in the direction of the input force and similarly, vo is found in
the direction of the output force, the equation can be rewritten as:
(with * reminding that a particular velocity component is used)
This is sometimes expressed as the Mechanical Advantage, defined as:
For linear systems or
For rotational systems
Application: Method of Virtual work
More generally, we will call this the method of virtual work, (in virtual work, we ignore timevarying constraints) in which all the energies are summed on one side of the equation and are set
equal to zero (no energy is created or stored):
β π
π β π―π + β ππ β ππ = 0

π
(Dynamic forces can be inserted into the virtual work equation).
A few notes:
1) These are EXTERNAL forces and torques (internal forces / torques do no work)
2) I prefer to use the virtual work equation:
3) There is a slight difference in Virtual work and Mechanical Advantage: In Virtual work, the
external forces and torques are acting on the mechanism. In Mechanical advantage, the input is
acting on the mechanism, the output is the force of the mechanism on the output device.

Discussion:
The results requires solving Vpy from the matrix equation, (use computational tools).
1) Note that the force in the cylinder does not depend on the speed of the machine in this
example, but the ratio of Vpy to r5_dot. So, you could solve more generally by assuming a unit
value (1) for the input velocity.
2) Note how I handled the cylinder force in virtual work. I took the cylinder force in the
dircetion of the cylinder (F_cyl*e^itheta_cyl) dotted with the velocity of the revolute pin on the
output of the cylinder.
3) Note the example of dot product applied to vectors described in complex polar format. To dot
such vectors, multiply the magnitudes with the cosine of the difference in angles.
