Definitions Flashcards
Mechanical system mobility
Degrees of freedom
3 translational motions
X, y, z
Only angular orientation changes
Pure rotation
All points on the body follow parallel paths
Pure translation
Combination of rotation and translation
Complex motion
Link with two nodes
Binary
Link with three nodes
Ternary
Link with four links
Quarternary
Connection between two or more links at their nodes (KINEMATIC PAIRS) that allows motion between connected links
Joints
Joint with surface contact
Lower pair
Joints with point or line contact
Higher pair
6 basic mechanical components
Link, wheel, cam, screw, ratchet, belt
5 types of relative motion
Rolling, sliding, linkages, wrapping, connectors, tackle
6 types of Lower Points
Revolute, Prismatic, Helical, Cylindric, Spehrical, Planar
Sliding motion along the axis
Prismatic or Slider Pairs
