Degrees of Freedom (DOF)

The number of independent coordinates necessary to fully describe the position of all the links in a mechanism.

6 DOF of a Rigid Body

A rigid body in 3D space has 6 degrees of freedom: translation in 3 axes (x, y, z) and rotation around 3 axes.

Mobility

The number of parameters needed to fully describe the movement of all the links in a mechanism.

DOF in Kinematic Pairs

Kinematic pairs are joints that restrict movement. The constraints imposed by these joints reduce the degrees of freedom.

Six Degrees of Freedom (6DOF)

A rigid body can translate and rotate in 3D space. This is described as 6 degrees of freedom: 3 for translation (x, y, z) and 3 for rotation (around x, y, z).

DOF Definition

The DOF (or mobility) of a mechanism refers to the number of independent coordinates needed to determine the position of every link of the mechanism relative to a fixed reference, at any given moment.

DOF in Kinematic Pair Constraints

The constraints in a kinematic pair, like joints, restrict the motion of the links, causing a decrease in the number of degrees of freedom.

Six Degrees of Freedom (6DOF)

The concept of 6 DOF refers to the six independent ways a rigid body can move in three-dimensional space – 3 translations (x, y, z) and 3 rotations (around x, y, z).

Study Notes

Degree of Freedom (DOF) of a Mechanism

  • The degree of freedom (DOF) of a mechanism refers to the number of independent movements or motions that a mechanical system can perform.

Degrees of Freedom of a Rigid Body

  • A rigid body has 6 degrees of freedom in three-dimensional space, which are three translational and three rotational movements.

Mobility of a Mechanism

  • Mobility refers to the ability of a mechanism to move or change its configuration, and is related to the degree of freedom of the mechanism.

Kinematic Pair and Degrees of Freedom

  • In a kinematic pair, the motion constraints can either completely restrict the motion (resulting in 0 DOF), partially restrict the motion (resulting in less than 6 DOF), or not restrict the motion at all (resulting in 6 DOF).

Six Degrees of Freedom (6DOF)

  • The term "six degrees of freedom (6DOF)" refers to the ability of an object to move freely in three-dimensional space, with all six possible movements (three translational and three rotational).

Purpose of Degree of Freedom (DOF) or Mobility

  • The purpose of the degree of freedom (DOF) or mobility of a mechanism is to determine the number of independent movements or motions that a mechanical system can perform, which affects the mechanism's functionality and performance.

Definition of Degree of Freedom (DOF) or Mobility

  • The degree of freedom (DOF) or mobility of a mechanism is defined as the number of independent movements or motions that a mechanical system can perform.

Factors Affecting Degrees of Freedom (DOF) in a Kinematic Pair

  • The factors that can affect the degrees of freedom (DOF) in a kinematic pair include the type of joint, the number of joints, and the motion constraints imposed on the joint.
