10. • The branch of scientific analysis that deals
with motions, time and forces is called
mechanics.
• It is divided in to two parts statics and
dynamics.

11. STATICS
• It deals with the analysis of stationary systems.
But time is not considered.
DYNAMICS
• It deals with the systems that change with
time.

12. KINEMATICS
• It is the study of motion, quite apart from the
forces which produce that motion.
• It is the study of position, displacement,
rotation, speed, velocity and acceleration.
KINETICS
• It is the study of motion and its causes
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 12
13. The subject matter which deals with this
geometric constant of relative motion, without
any reference to the cause of the motion that is
the force is called kinematics.
For the study of kinematics, a machine may be
referred to as a mechanism, which is a
combination of inter connected rigid bodies
capable of relative motion.

14. Machinery is defined as a mechanical device or
the parts that keep something working.
Machines or machine parts considered as a group.
The working parts of a particular machine.
An assemblage of machines.
The parts of a machine collectively.
An assemblage of machines or mechanical
apparatuses
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 14
15. • It is defined as the
combination of rigid or
resistance bodies assembled
in such a way that the motion
of one causes constrained and
predictable motion to others
is known as mechanism.
• If one of the links of a
kinematic chain is fixed,
then the chain is known as
mechanism. 15
16. An assembly of moving parts performing a complete
functional motion.
A mechanism is a device designed to transform input
forces and movement into a desired set of output forces
and movement.
Mechanisms generally consist of moving components
such as gears and gear trains, belt and chain drives, cam
and follower mechanisms, and linkages as well as
friction devices such as brakes and clutches, and
structural components such as the frame, fasteners,
bearings, springs, lubricants and seals, as well as a
variety of specialized machine elements such as splines,
pins and keys.
16
17. • It is defined as a device which receives energy
and transforms it into some useful work.
• If the mechanism is used to transmit power
(or) to do work, then it is known as machine.
• The main function of the machine is to obtain
mechanical advantage.
BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 17
18. We can define machine as a device for
transferring and transforming motion and force
or power from the input that is, the source to
the output that is the load.
The motion needs to be transformed as it is
being transferred from the source to the load.
19.
20. • It is a resistant body or assembly of resistant
body of a machine connecting other parts of
the machine with relative motion between
them.
• There are three types of links available in order
to transmit motion. They are as follows:
» Rigid link
» Flexible link
» Fluid link
21. Rigid link
A rigid link is one which does not undergo any
deformation while transmitting motion. Practically rigid
link does not exists. Ex : crank shaft, piston etc.,
Flexible link
A flexible link is one which undergoes partial deformation
without affecting the transfer motion. Ex : ropes, belts,
chains, springs etc.,
Fluid link
A fluid link is a link which has fluid inside the container
and motion is transmitted through the fluid by pressure or
compression. Ex: fluids used in hydraulic press, hydraulic
jack, hydraulic crane etc.,
22.
23.
24.
25. Structure
It is an assemblage
of a number of
resistant bodies
(known as members)
having no relative
motion between
them and meant for
carrying loads
having straining
action. A railway
bridge, a roof truss,
machine frames etc.,
are the examples of a
structure.
26. Difference Between a Machine and a Structure
The following differences between a machine and a structure are important
from the subject point of view :
1. The parts of a machine move relative to one another,
whereas the members of a structure do not move relative to one another.
2. A machine transforms the available energy into some useful work, whereas
in a structure no energy is transformed into useful work.
3. The links of a machine may transmit both power and motion, while the
members of a structure transmit forces only.
27. • A joint of two links that permits relative motion
is called pair.
Types of kinematic pair
1. Nature of relative motion between the links.
2. Nature of contact between the links.
3. Nature of mechanical arrangement.
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 27
28. Nature of relative motion
» Sliding pair
» Turning pair
» Cylindrical pair
» Rolling pair
» Spherical pair
» Helical or screw pair
Nature of contact
» Lower pair
» Higher pair
Nature of mechanical constraint
» Closed pair
» Unclosed pair
35. Helical pair or screw pair
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 35
36. Lower pair
Lower pair. When the two elements of a pair have a
surface contact when relative motion takes place and
the surface of one element slides over the surface of
the other, the pair formed is known as lower pair.
It will be seen that sliding pairs, turning pairs and
screw pairs form lower pairs.
37. Higher pair
Higher pair.
When the two elements of a pair have a line or point contact when relative
motion takes place and the motion between the two elements is partly
turning and partly sliding, then the pair is known as higher pair.
A pair of friction discs, toothed gearing, belt and rope drives, ball and
roller bearings and cam and follower are the examples of higher pairs.
38. Closed pair
• When two elements of a pair are held together
mechanically, they constitute a closed pair.
Ex :All pair
Un closed pair
• When two elements of a pair are not held
together mechanically, they constitute a
unclosed pair.
Ex : cam and follower
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 38
39. • If the last link is joined to first link to transmit
definite motion, then it is known as kinematic
chain.
• To determine the given assemblage of links form
the kinematic chain or not:
• The two equations are: l = 2p – 4
j = (3/2) * l – 2
Where, l = number of links
p = number of pairs
j = number of joints
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 39
43. 1. Completely constrained motion. When the motion between a
pair is limited to a definite direction irrespective of the direction
of force applied, then the motion is said to be a completely
constrained motion.
44. 2. Incompletely constrained motion. When the motion
between a pair can take place in more than one direction, then
the motion is called an incompletely constrained motion. The
change in the direction of impressed force may alter the
direction of relative motion between the pair.
45. 3. Successfully constrained motion. When the motion between the
elements, forming a pair is such that the constrained motion is not
completed by itself, but by some other means, then the motion is said to
be successfully constrained motion.
48. The analysis of mechanism is the number of
degrees of freedom, also called the mobility of
the device.
The mobility of a mechanism is defined as the
number of input parameters which must be
controlled independently in order to bring the
device in to a particular position.
It is the number of independent coordinates
required to describe the position of a body in
space.
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 48
51. Movability includes the six degrees of freedom
of the device as a whole, as through the ground
link were not fixed and thus applies to a
kinematic chain.
Mobility neglects these and considers only the
internal motions, thus applying to a
mechanism.
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 51
52. A link is to have ‘n’ degree of
freedom if it has n independent
variables associated with its
position in the plane.
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 52
53. n = 3 (l-1) – 2j – h where,
l= number of links
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 53
Then the number of degree of freedom of a
mechanism (n) is given by,
j = number of binary joints
h = number of higher pairs
This equation is called kutzbach criterion for
the mobility of a mechanism.
If there is no higher pair, then h = 0. then
kutzbach criterion, n = 3 (l-1) – 2j
57. • Mechanism with lower pairs
– Three bar mechanism
– Four bar mechanism
– Five bar mechanism
– Six bar mechanism
• Mechanism with higher pairs
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 57
58. n = 6(l-1) – 5P1 – 4P2 – 3P3 – 2P4 – 1P5
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 58
Where, n = Number of degree of freedom
l = Number of links
P1 = Number of pair having one degree of
freedom
P2 = Number of pair having two degree of
freedom
59. • Grubler’s mechanism is obtained by substituting
n = 1 and h = 0 in Kutzbach criterion as below.
we know that,
n = 3 (l-1) – 2j – h
=>1= 3 (l -1) – 2j
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 59
=>3l – 2j – 4 = 0
This equation is known as Grubler’s criterion for
plane mechanism
60. We know that Kutzbach criterion for spatial
mechanism is
n = 6(l-1) – 5P1 – 4P2 – 3P3 – 2P4 – 1P5
substitute n = 1; P2, P3 , … P5 = 0
1 = 6(l-1) – 5P1 (or) 6l– 5P1 – 7 = 0
This equation is known as Grubler’s equation
for spatial mechanism.
61. • When one of the links of kinematic chain is
fixed, then the chain is known as mechanism.

117. • This type of mechanism produces a swinging or
rocking motion of a link. The motion is generally less
than 360o and is an oscillatory motion.
Toothed Rack System
• This is simply a rotating arm (b) with a link fitted with
a toothed rack (c) which meshes with a gear (d) to
produce a rocking motion of the gear.
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 117
118. Crank and Rocker Mechanism
• This is simply a four bar linkage (the frame
provides the first link). The operating
characteristics are dependent on the length of
the links and the design of the frame setting
the pivot points..Rotation of the arm (b)
produces a rocking motion of arm (d).
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 118
120. Quick Return linkage
• The arm (b) rotates and results in a rocking
motion of arm (d)via the slider (c). The
action is a quick return action because the
angle (b) rotates through in one direction
,assumed to be the forward direction, is greater
than the angle which result in the return
motion.
11/10/2016 BY - T.S.SENTHILKUMAR/AP 120
122. Cam and Follower Mechanism
• Rotation of the cam (c) produces a rocking
motion of the lever (d) via the sliding interface
(b). The arrangement only identifies the
principle involved. In practice some means
would have to be provided to ensure the lever
is maintained in contact with the lever.

of delivering output rotation in the either
direction, some form of reversing mechanism
is required.

140. • The connecting rod of a planar four bar linkage
may be imagined as an infinite plane extending
in all directions but pin connected to the input
and output links.
• Then, during motion of the linkage, any point
attached to the plane of the coupler generates
some path with respect to the fixed link, this
path is called coupler curve.
