Study Notes
Introduction to Machine Elements and Kinematic Pairs
- A machine element is a mechanical combination of fixed or flexible parts.
- Pure mechanism deals with the motion and forms of machine parts, while constructive mechanism involves calculating the forces acting on different parts of a machine.
- A machine is a combination of resistant bodies that produce work with certain determined motions.
- A structure is a combination of resistant bodies capable of transmitting forces or carrying loads without relative motion between parts.
- A mechanism is the mechanical portion of a machine that transfers motion and forces from a power source to the output.
- A frame is a structure that supports the moving parts and regulates their path.
- A particle is an infinitesimal part of a body, often referred to as a point or a series of contiguous particles arranged in a line.
- A rigid body is a compound particle that remains at a constant distance from one another.
- Drivers are pieces of a mechanism that cause motion, while followers are pieces that follow the motion of the driver either clockwise or counterclockwise.
- Modes of transmission include links, bands, and bearings, each with specific characteristics for transmitting motion.
- Different types of links include rigid, flexible, and fluid links, each with varying degrees of deformation.
- Kinematic pairs are two links or elements of a machine that, when in contact with each other, form a pair with completely or successfully constrained relative motion between them. Different types of kinematic pairs include sliding, turning, rolling, screw, spherical, lower, and higher pairs.
