1. KINEMATIC DIAGRAM

2. •In analyzing the motion of a machine, it is often difficult to visualize
the movement of the components in a full assembly drawing.
•It is easier to represent the parts in skeleton form so that only the
dimensions that influence the motion of the mechanism are shown.
•These “stripped-down” sketches of mechanisms are often referred
to as kinematic diagrams.

9. KINEMATIC INVERSION
•Absolute motion is measured with respect to a stationary frame.
•Relative motion is measured for one point or link with respect to
another link.
•In some cases, the selection of a frame is arbitrary,
•As different links are chosen as a frame, the relative motion of the links
is not altered, but the absolute motion can be drastically different.
•For machines without a stationary link, relative motion is often the
desired result of kinematic analysis.

10. MOBILITY
•An important property in mechanism analysis is the number of degrees
of freedomof the linkage.
•The degree of freedomis the number of independent inputs required to
precisely position all links of the mechanism with respect to the ground.
•It can also be defined as the number of actuators needed to operate the
mechanism.
•A mechanism actuator could be manually moving one link to another
position, connecting a motor to the shaft of one link, or pushing a piston
of a hydraulic cylinder.

11. MOBILITY
•The number of degrees of freedom of a
mechanism is also called the mobility, and
it is given the symbol M.
•When the configuration of a mechanism is
completely defined by positioning one link,
that system has one degree of freedom.
•Most commercially produced mechanisms
have one degree of freedom.
•In constrast, robotic arms can have three,
or more, degrees of freedom.

12. Gruebler’sEquation
•Degrees of freedom for planar linkages joined with common joints
can be calculated through Gruebler’sequation:
where:
n= total number of links in the mechanism
j
p= total number of primary joints (pins or sliding joints)
J
h= total number of higher-order joints (cam or gear joints)

13. Gruebler’sEquation
•Linkages with zero, or negative, degrees of
freedom are termed locked mechanisms.
•These mechanisms are unable to move and
form a structure.
•A trussis a structure composed of simple
links and connected with pin joints and zero
degrees of freedom

14. Gruebler’sEquation
•Linkages with multiple degrees of freedom
need more than one driver to precisely
operate them.
•Common multi-degree-of-freedom
mechanisms are open-loop kinematic chains
used for reaching and positioning, such as
robotic arms and backhoes.
•In general, multi-degree-of-freedom
linkages offer greater ability to precisely
position a link.
