10 Questions
What is the degree of freedom (DOF) of a mechanism?
The number of independent coordinates to specify the position of all the links
How many degrees of freedom (DOF) does a rigid body have in three-dimensional space?
6
What does the term 'mobility' refer to in the context of a mechanism?
The number of parameters to describe the movement of all the links
In a kinematic pair, what can happen to the degrees of freedom (DOF) depending on the motion constraints?
They decrease
What does the term 'six degrees of freedom (6DOF)' refer to?
The number of axes a rigid body can move in three-dimensional space
What is the purpose of the degree of freedom (DOF) or mobility degree of freedom in a mechanism?
It is used to define the number of parameters or variables to describe the overall movement of all the links in a mechanism.
What is the definition of degree of freedom (DOF) or mobility of a mechanism?
Number of independent coordinates, required to describe/specify the configuration or position of all the links of the mechanism, with respect to the fixed link at any given instant.
What factors can affect the degrees of freedom (DOF) in a kinematic pair?
The constraints imposed on the motion can cause the links to lose some of the six degrees of freedom.
What does the term "six degrees of freedom (6DOF)" refer to?
It refers to the specific number of axes that a rigid body is able to freely move in three-dimensional space.
What does the term "mobility" mean in the context of a mechanism?
Mobility refers to the number of independent parameters that define the configuration of a mechanical system.
Test your knowledge on the Degree of Freedom or Mobility Degree of Freedom (DOF)/ Mobility of a Mechanism. This quiz will assess your understanding of the parameters and variables that describe the movement of links in a mechanism, as well as the number of independent coordinates required to specify its configuration.
