MECHANICS
Branch of Physics that describes and predicts the conditions of rest or
motion of bodies under the action of forces.
(1) Statics:
Branch of mechanics which deals with the forces and their effects while the machine
parts are at rest
(2) Dynamics
Branch of mechanics which deals with the forces and their effects, acting on machine
parts which are in motion
BRANCHES OF MECHANICS:
9
BRANCHES OF DYNAMICS
(2) Kinetics
Study of effect of forces (or torques) on systems in motion.
Especially those forces are important, which do not originate within the system itself
(e.g.to increase/decrease the speed of body or to give motion to static object.)
(1) Kinematics
Branch of mechanics which deals with the study of relative motion between the
various parts of the machines without regard to forces.
It is independent of size,shape,strength and nature of material used in machine parts.
Basic aim is to:
>> design the desired motions of mechanical parts then
>> mathematically computing the position,velocities & accelerations,which
those motions will create on parts.
10

MECHANISMS AND MOTION
Mechanism
A system of moving parts that
performs some function (Collins
Dictionary).
Motion
The process of continual change
in the position of an object
(Collins Dictionary).
30
TYPES OF MOTION
1. Plane Motion: Motion of a body confined to only one plane is called plane
motion. It has two types:
1. Rectilinear or Translatory Motion: Motion of body along a straight line path.
2. Curvilinear Motion: Motion of body along a curved path.
(Curvilinear motion confined to only 1-plane is called plane curvilinear
motion)
2. Oscillating (Periodic) Motion: Motion repeating itself or To & fro motion of an
object about its mean position.
3. Reciprocating Motion = Linear repetitive motion in up & down or back & forth
direction. E.g. sewing m/c needle, reciprocation engine, reciprocating pumps,
shaper machine etc.
4. Rotary or Circular Motion: Motion in which object spin or rotates about the axis
of rotation. E.g. earth rotation, wheels of moving car, fan blades, Gears, drill
machine, blender, Helicopter rotor blades. Etc.

32
TYPES OF MOTION W.R.T MMC
 Pure Rotation
The body possesses one point i.e. center of rotation that has no motion with
respect to the "stationary" frame of reference. E.g. Shaft rotation, windmill.
 Pure Translation
All points on the body describe parallel (curvilinear or rectilinear) paths. E.g. Car
moving in straight line
 Complex Motion (Rotation + Translation)
Simultaneous combination of rotation and translation. E.g. wheels of a straightly
moving car, sphere rolling on ground (but not slipping).
Translation and rotation represent independent motions of the body. Each can exist
without the other.
33
DEGREE OF FREEDOM (DOF) OR MOBILITY OF
MECHANICAL SYSTEM
 Number of independent coordinates (parameters) required to define the position
of Mechanical system.
OR
 Number of inputs that need to be provided in order to create a predictable output
 DOF is always defined w.r.t a selected frame of reference.
34
DEGREE OF FREEDOM (DOF) OR MOBILITY
35
DEGREE OF FREEDOM (DOF) OR MOBILITY
Rigid body in plane motion has 3DOF & any rigid body in 3D space has 6DOF.
How to define position of pencil in 2D?

DEFINITIONS
 Machine
 Collection of mechanism arranged to transmit forces and to perform some useful
work.
 Mechanism
 A kinematic chain having at least 1 link fixed to ground.
e.g. (1) In reciprocating engine, cylinder is ground
 Kinematic Chain
 Group of moving links connected together for the purpose of transmitting forces
or controlled output motion.
38
LINKAGES AND LINKS
 Linkages or Kinematic Linkages
 Basic building blocks of all the mechanisms
 Linkages are made up of links and joints
 Kinematic Pairs of Joints
 Connection point b/w two or more links that allows relative motion
 Link
 Each part of machine which moves relative to some other part is known as link
or kinematic link or element.
 All the mechanical components like, cams, gears, belts, chains are represented
as a link.
 Link should be resistant or rigid enough to transmit the required forces with
negligible deformation.
 Links may be rigid, flexible or fluid type
39
TYPES OF LINKS
 1. Rigid link: Link which does not undergoes any deformation while transmitting
motion. Strictly speaking, rigid links do not exist.
E.g. Crank shaft, piston etc.
 2. Flexible link: Link which undergoes partial deformation without affecting the
transmission of motion.
E.g. belts, ropes, chains, wires, springs etc.
 3. Fluid link: A fluid link contains the fluid inside the container and the motion is
transmitted through the fluid by pressure or compression only.
E.g. hydraulic presses, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic cranes, and brakes.
40
TYPES OF LINKS
Rigid link
Flexible link
Fluid link
41
LINKS
Node: Connection
points of any link are
called nodes
Link are assumed
to be incapable of
deformation and
massless for the
sake of kinematic
analysis
42
CALCULATE THE NO. OF LINKS?
Binary = 2, 3, 4, 5
Ternary = 6, 1
Total = 6
43
DEFINITION OF KINEMATIC PAIRS OF JOINTS
Joint or Kinematic pairs
 Connection point b/w two or more links that allows relative motion.

51
CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS

Surface contact
52
(i) Revolute (R) or Pin joint (Rotating)
 1 DOF Joint
 Usable in planar mechanisms
 Examples
A shaft with collars at both ends, fitted into a circular
hole
the crankshaft in a journal bearing in an engine
lathe spindle supported in head stock
cycle wheels turning over their axles etc.
JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
53
(ii) Prismatic (P) or Slider Joint (Translating)
 1 DOF
 usable in planar mechanisms
 Examples:
 piston and cylinder,
 cross-head and guides of a reciprocating steam
engine,
 ram and its guides in shaper,
 tail stock on the lathe bed etc.
JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
54
(iii) Helical (H) Joint
 Anything having threads
 1 DOF
 contains RP
 Examples:
Lead screw of a lathe with nut,and
Bolt with a nut are examples of a screw pair
JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
55
(iv) Cylindric (C) Joint
 Similar to helical but without threads
 2 DOF
 contains RP
 Examples:
shaft inside the bearing
JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
In prismatic we have only translation but in cylindric
we may have translation + rotation.
56
(v) Spherical (S) Joint
 Rotation about 3 axis.

Revolute Joint
Cylindric Joint
60
Interesting
• Motion of either the nut or the screw w.r.t each other is the result of helical motion.
• If the helix angle is made 0º, the nut rotates without advancing and it becomes the
pin joint.
• If the helix angle is made 90º, the nut will translate along the axis of the screw, and
it becomes the slider joint.
• Revolute (R) and the prismatic (P) Pairs are basic building blocks of all other pairs
• Revolute (R) and the prismatic (P) Pairs are used for planar mechanisms
• Remaining all the pairs are combination of revolute or prismatic joints & are used
in 3d mechanisms.
JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
61
CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS
3. Number of DOFs allowed at the joint
I. Full joints
 Those joints having 1 DOF
 Example: pin joint, translating/prismatic joint
II. Half Joints
 Those joints having more than 1 DOF
 It is also known as roll-slide joint
 Example: spherical joint
62
CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS
4. Type of physical closure of the joint
I. Form-closed
 Joint which is kept together or closed by its geometry.
 e.g. pin in a hole
II. Force-closed
 Joint which is kept together by some external force
 (gravity, spring or any external means).
 e.g. cam-follower systems
63
CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS
64
65
JOINT B/W THE ROAD AND THE WHEEL OF A CAR
• Wheel of straightly moving
car has 1DOF because
translatory motion is
dependent on rotary motion
of wheel.
• Automobile Tire rolling on
road is pure rolling joint.
• This joint converts to pure
sliding joint, when brakes
are applied.
• On icy road it may convert to
roll-slide joint.
Lower Pair or Higher Pair?
• Contact type= Line contact
• Higher Pair
Half Joint or Full Joint?
• Full Joint: If only roll or slide then
1DOF
• Half Joint: If road is frictionless, then
rolling + sliding both occur
independently of each oher then
2DOF (R+P)
• Friction determines the actual DOF
of this kind of joint.
Force Close or Form Close Joint?
• Force close (weight of car)
• If any force higher than car weight is
applied the joint or contact will be
removed.
66
CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS
4. Order of the Joint
 Order of Joint = Number of links joined (L) – 1 = L - 1
 Plays a key role in determining the overall DOF of mechanisms
 Single joint is a combination of 2 links
 As additional links are placed on the same joint, the joint order is increased on a
one-for-one basis

  • 38. 38 LINKAGES AND LINKS  Linkages or Kinematic Linkages  Basic building blocks of all the mechanisms  Linkages are made up of links and joints  Kinematic Pairs of Joints  Connection point b/w two or more links that allows relative motion  Link  Each part of machine which moves relative to some other part is known as link or kinematic link or element.  All the mechanical components like, cams, gears, belts, chains are represented as a link.  Link should be resistant or rigid enough to transmit the required forces with negligible deformation.  Links may be rigid, flexible or fluid type
  • 39. 39 TYPES OF LINKS  1. Rigid link: Link which does not undergoes any deformation while transmitting motion. Strictly speaking, rigid links do not exist. E.g. Crank shaft, piston etc.  2. Flexible link: Link which undergoes partial deformation without affecting the transmission of motion. E.g. belts, ropes, chains, wires, springs etc.  3. Fluid link: A fluid link contains the fluid inside the container and the motion is transmitted through the fluid by pressure or compression only. E.g. hydraulic presses, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic cranes, and brakes.

  • 52. 52 (i) Revolute (R) or Pin joint (Rotating)  1 DOF Joint  Usable in planar mechanisms  Examples A shaft with collars at both ends, fitted into a circular hole the crankshaft in a journal bearing in an engine lathe spindle supported in head stock cycle wheels turning over their axles etc. JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
  • 53. 53 (ii) Prismatic (P) or Slider Joint (Translating)  1 DOF  usable in planar mechanisms  Examples:  piston and cylinder,  cross-head and guides of a reciprocating steam engine,  ram and its guides in shaper,  tail stock on the lathe bed etc. JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
  • 54. 54 (iii) Helical (H) Joint  Anything having threads  1 DOF  contains RP  Examples: Lead screw of a lathe with nut,and Bolt with a nut are examples of a screw pair JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
  • 55. 55 (iv) Cylindric (C) Joint  Similar to helical but without threads  2 DOF  contains RP  Examples: shaft inside the bearing JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS In prismatic we have only translation but in cylindric we may have translation + rotation.
  • 56. 56 (v) Spherical (S) Joint  Rotation about 3 axis.  Contains RRR  3 DOF  Example: The ball and socket joint, attachment of a car mirror, pen stand etc. JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS

  • 60. 60 Interesting • Motion of either the nut or the screw w.r.t each other is the result of helical motion. • If the helix angle is made 0º, the nut rotates without advancing and it becomes the pin joint. • If the helix angle is made 90º, the nut will translate along the axis of the screw, and it becomes the slider joint. • Revolute (R) and the prismatic (P) Pairs are basic building blocks of all other pairs • Revolute (R) and the prismatic (P) Pairs are used for planar mechanisms • Remaining all the pairs are combination of revolute or prismatic joints & are used in 3d mechanisms. JOINTS CLASSIFICATION: SIX LOWER PAIRS
  • 61. 61 CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS 3. Number of DOFs allowed at the joint I. Full joints  Those joints having 1 DOF  Example: pin joint, translating/prismatic joint II. Half Joints  Those joints having more than 1 DOF  It is also known as roll-slide joint  Example: spherical joint
  • 62. 62 CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS 4. Type of physical closure of the joint I. Form-closed  Joint which is kept together or closed by its geometry.  e.g. pin in a hole II. Force-closed  Joint which is kept together by some external force  (gravity, spring or any external means).  e.g. cam-follower systems

  • 65. 65 JOINT B/W THE ROAD AND THE WHEEL OF A CAR • Wheel of straightly moving car has 1DOF because translatory motion is dependent on rotary motion of wheel. • Automobile Tire rolling on road is pure rolling joint. • This joint converts to pure sliding joint, when brakes are applied. • On icy road it may convert to roll-slide joint. Lower Pair or Higher Pair? • Contact type= Line contact • Higher Pair Half Joint or Full Joint? • Full Joint: If only roll or slide then 1DOF • Half Joint: If road is frictionless, then rolling + sliding both occur independently of each oher then 2DOF (R+P) • Friction determines the actual DOF of this kind of joint. Force Close or Form Close Joint? • Force close (weight of car) • If any force higher than car weight is applied the joint or contact will be removed.
  • 66. 66 CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS 4. Order of the Joint  Order of Joint = Number of links joined (L) – 1 = L - 1  Plays a key role in determining the overall DOF of mechanisms  Single joint is a combination of 2 links  As additional links are placed on the same joint, the joint order is increased on a one-for-one basis
