In　this　paper,　the　dynamic　characteristics　of　lunge　material　mechanism　in　household　sewing　machine　are　simulated　with　the　MATLAB　software　and　the　dynamics　simulation　software　ADAMS.　The　displacement,　velocity,　acceleration　of　lunge　needle　is　calculated　with　MATLAB　and　simulated　with　ADAMS.　Then　the　curves　of　displacement,　velocity,　acceleration　of　lunge　needle　VS　time　are　plotted　with　the　two　different　softwares　respectively.　The　angular　acceleration　and　drive　torque　of　crank　is　calculated　and　simulated　either.　Then,　the　contrast　and　discussion　about　the　calculation　and　simulation　is　carried　on.　This　research　has　some　reference　value　for　design　and　simulation　of　lunge　material　mechanism　in　sewing　machine　and　other　machines.　©　(2013)　Trans　Tech　Publications,　Switzerland.
