The document describes graphical methods for acceleration analysis of planar mechanisms. It begins with an introduction to acceleration analysis, which involves determining accelerations after velocities are known. The rest of the document provides examples of using acceleration polygons to analyze specific mechanisms like four-bar linkages and slider-crank mechanisms in different configurations. Instructions are given on constructing acceleration polygons and determining unknown accelerations from the completed polygons.

Final project report on grocery store management system..pdfKamal Acharya
In today’s fast-changing business environment, it’s extremely important to be able to respond to client needs in the most effective and timely manner. If your customers wish to see your business online and have instant access to your products or services.
Online Grocery Store is an e-commerce website, which retails various grocery products. This project allows viewing various products available enables registered users to purchase desired products instantly using Paytm, UPI payment processor (Instant Pay) and also can place order by using Cash on Delivery (Pay Later) option. This project provides an easy access to Administrators and Managers to view orders placed using Pay Later and Instant Pay options.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client-side scripting techniques, implementation technologies, programming language (such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and MySQL relational databases. This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is provided with a shopping cart website and also to know about the technologies used to develop such a website.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.
Quality defects in TMT Bars, Possible causes and Potential Solutions.PrashantGoswami42
Maintaining high-quality standards in the production of TMT bars is crucial for ensuring structural integrity in construction. Addressing common defects through careful monitoring, standardized processes, and advanced technology can significantly improve the quality of TMT bars. Continuous training and adherence to quality control measures will also play a pivotal role in minimizing these defects.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

6. GRAPHICAL ACCELERATION ANALYSIS
In kinematic analysis of mechanisms, acceleration analysis is usually performed following a
velocity analysis; i.e., the positions and orientations, and the velocities of all the links in a
mechanism are assumed known. In this chapter we concentrate on one graphical method for
acceleration analysis of planar mechanisms.
We start this chapter with some exercises to ensure that the fundamentals of acceleration
analysis are well understood. You may review these fundamentals in Chapter 2 of these notes.
Exercises
In these exercises take direct measurements from the figures for link lengths and the
magnitudes of velocity and acceleration vectors. If it is stated that the angular velocity and
acceleration are known, assume ω = 1 rad/sec CCW and α = 1 rad/sec2
CW unless it is stated
otherwise. Write the position, velocity, and acceleration vector equations, and then graphically
determine the unknown acceleration(s).

Polygon Method
Four-bar Mechanism
For a known four-bar mechanism, in a given
configuration and known velocities, and a given angular
acceleration of the crank, α2
(say CCW), construct the
acceleration polygon. Determine α3

The position and velocity vector loop equations are:
RAO2

It is assumed that for this given configuration a velocity

Example SC-AP-3
This is a continuation of Example SC-
VP-3. Assume an angular acceleration of
1 rad/sec2
CW for the crank.
Acceleration polygon (right) is
constructed and the following accelerations
are determined from the polygon:
α3
= α4
= 2.67 rad/sec2
CW; AO4 A
s
= 3.8,
and AP
= 0.4 in the direction shown.
A second polygon (left) is constructed
to determine the acceleration of point P as:
AP = 2.7 in the direction shown.
