Kinetics Statics
UNIT 1- BASICS OF MECHANISMS
1.1 Classification of mechanisms
1.1.1 Kinematics Introduction

Kinematics - Study of motion, without considering

the forces which produce that motion
Dynamics - study of forces acting on the machine
parts and the motions resulting from these forces
UNIT 1- BASICS OF MECHANISMS
1.1 Classification of mechanisms
1.1.2 Mechanism Introduction

 Motion of any one link will give a definite and

predictable motion relative to each of the others.

UNIT 1- BASICS OF MECHANISMS
1.1 Classification of mechanisms
1.1.3 Link

 Each part of a machine, which moves relative to

some other part, is known as a kinematic link (or
simply link) or element.
UNIT 1- BASICS OF MECHANISMS
1.1 Classification of mechanisms
1.1.3 Link

 A link may consist of several parts, which are rigidly

fastened together, so that they do not move relative to
one another.

 If the relative motion between the link is completely

or successfully constrained (i.e. in a definite
direction), the pair is known as kinematic pair.
