    Study Notes

    Kinematics

    • Main objective is to describe motion without considering forces.
    • Focuses on the relationship between displacements, velocities, and accelerations of bodies.

    Mechanisms

    • The primary function is to transfer motion and force between components.
    • Mechanisms convert input motion into desired output motion.

    Machines

    • Characterized by the ability to do work by using mechanisms to transform energy from one form to another.
    • Generally include a series of interconnected parts to achieve specific tasks.

    Degrees of Freedom (DOF)

    • Defined as the number of independent parameters required to define an object's position in space at any time.
    • In 3D space, the maximum number of DOF is six (three translational and three rotational).

    Types of Motion

    • The three types of motion include translation, rotation, and oscillation.

    Mechanism Building Blocks

    • The basic building block of mechanisms is the link.

    Joints in Mechanisms

    • Joints with Surface Contact are classified as Higher Pairs.
    • Joints with Point or Line Contact are classified as Higher Pairs.

    Lower Pairs and DOF

    • Each of the six lower pairs is matched to its corresponding number of DOF, typically one for each simple joint.

    Coupler

    • A link that undergoes oscillatory rotation and is pivoted to a fixed base.

    Crank

    • A link that rotates completely (360 degrees) around a pivot point.

    Rocker

    • A link that exhibits oscillatory motion and is also pivoted to ground.
    • Any link that remains stationary with respect to the reference frame is identified as a fixed link.

    Intermittent Motion

    • Describes a motion characterized by a sequence of movements followed by pauses, creating a cyclical pattern.
