C. Screw Systems Screw systems result when we take zero to six of these “wrench-supports", attach them in parallel to a body and observe the resulting motion. Conversely, we can think of a screw system as the result of altaching zero to six of these "screw-joints" in series to a body and examining the resulting motion. Now we can define the screw systems as follows: * of “screw- joints" * of "wrench-supports” Zero System: 0 6 (fully constrained) ‘One System: 1 5 Two System: 2 4 Three System: 5 S Four System: 4 2 Five System: P 1 Six System: 6 0 (unconstrained) Summary ‘Screw systems result when we lel a set of screws act together on a rigid body. Because of reciprocity, we can interpret the resulting motion of a body as being the degree(s)-of-freedom left when it is constrained by wrench-supports, or as the degree(s)-of-freedom provided by screw-joints that connect it to a base. The zero system and the six system are usually not of interest. %. Generaltzed Hooke Joint
