Abstract
This paper aims to study the dynamic behavior of a slider–crank mechanism with flexible components and a multijoint clearance. A numerical investigation was developed for this objective. The mechanism model used for the simulation tests has been performed under MSC ADAMS software using the contact force under the “Impact-function” library. The obtained results illustrate that the mechanism performance is more significantly influenced with multiple joints with clearance. Three contact modes are involved: (i) a continuous contact motion, (ii) a free motion, and (iii) an impact motion. Numerical outcomes prove that the clearance dimension and location have a determinant effect on the slider responses precision. The mechanism reliability decay and a random overall behavior govern the dynamic response along the free flight mode.
